Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing; Towing A Trailer (Manual Transaxle) - Pontiac 2004 Sunfire Owner's Manual

Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you are
pulling a trailer. See Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services on page 6-4 for more on this. Things that are
especially important in trailer operation are automatic
transaxle fluid (don't overfill), engine oil, drive belt,
cooling system and brake system.
Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index
will help you find them quickly. If you are trailering,
it is a good idea to review this information before you
start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.
