Maintenance When Towing a
Trailer
Your vehicle will need service more often
when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil,
transmission fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition is
another important item to frequently
check. If you're trailering, it's a good idea
to review these items before you start
your trip. Don't forget to also maintain
your trailer and hitch. Follow the
maintenance schedule that accompanied
your trailer and check it periodically.
Preferably, conduct the check at the start
of each day's driving. Most importantly,
all hitch nuts and bolts should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:
• Due to higher load during trailer usage,
overheating might occur on hot days or
during uphill driving. If the coolant
gauge indicates over-heating, switch
off the air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool down the
engine.
• Do not switch off the engine while the
coolant gauge indicates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool down the
engine)
• When towing check transmission fluid
more frequently.
