WARNING
The given trailer weights are appli-
cable for altitudes up to 1,000m
above sea level.
In higher elevations the engine out-
put and gradeability may drop so
that it may not be possible for the
permissible trailer loads to be fully
utilized in mountainous territory.
So, above 1,000m in altitude, maxi-
mum permissible trailer loads
should be reduced by 10% for every
further 1,000m in altitudes.
WARNING
Incorrect loading and crosswinds,
large trucks passing or road rough-
50
ness can cause swaying or trailer
50 separation.
• Adjust tongue load by distribution
50
of load in trailer.

• Check by weighing loaded trailer
50
and tongue load separately.

Trailer Brakes
If the caravan/trailer brakes are used, you
should follow all instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Never modify the brake
system of your vehicle.
Trailer Lights
Make sure your trailer is equipped with lights
which meet country and local requirements.
Always check for the proper operation of
all trailer lights before you start to tow.
Tires
When towing trailers, be sure your tires are
properly inflated to the inflation pressure
shown on the Tire Placard on the glove box.
Safety Chains
Always attach safety chains between your
vehicle and the trailer. Cross the safety
chains under the tongue of the trailer so that
the tongue will not drop to the road if it be-
comes separated from the hitch. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendation for attach-
ing safety chains. Always leave just enough
slack to permit full turning. Never allow
safety chains to drag on the road.
Brake Fluid
Change the brake fluid every 15,000 km
(9,000 miles) under the following conditions.
– Towing a trailer frequently.
– Driving in hilly or mountainous terrain.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Change the automatic transmission fluid ev-
ery 75,000 km (45,000 miles) if your vehicle
tows trailer frequently.
