Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you're
pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more
on this. Things that are especially important in trailer
operation are automatic transaxle fluid (don't overfill),
engine oil, belt, cooling system and brake adjustment.
Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index
will help you find them quickly. If you're trailering, it's
a good idea to review these sections before you
start
your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are
tight.
Engine Cooling When mailer Towing
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions. See "Engine Overheating''
in the Index.
