Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping
and backing the trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.
Towing Tips — Automatic Transmission
The "D" range can be selected when towing. However, if
frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the "3" range
should be selected.
NOTE: Using the "3" range while operating the vehicle
under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor-
mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces-
sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also
provide better engine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be
changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than
45 minutes of continuous operation. Refer to the Main-
tenance Schedule in section 8 of this manual for trans-
mission fluid change intervals.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level
before towing.
