TOWING LOADS

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or
brake instability. Always follow these precautions when towing:
1. Never load more than 220 (100 kg)tongue weight on the towing bracket.
2. When transporting heavy loads and/or when towing, always operate the
vehicle in low gear and have ADC activated (if equipped).
3. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.
Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
4. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the
towing capacity chart below and the Specifications section for towing values.
5. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any
other location, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
6. Avoid towing loads on an incline. If it's unavoidable, choose the smallest
incline available, operate with extreme caution, and drive straight up or down
the incline.
