TOWING
When towing a load, follow these guidelines:
• Comply with all federal, state, and local regulations for towing.
• Do not tow more than the recommended towing weight shown in the follow-
ing table.
VEHICLE TOWING (0% - 20% GRADE)
Maximum Vehicle Weight Capacity
Maximum Gross Trailer Weight
• Do not exceed the maximum vehicle weight capacity (includes weight of
operator, passenger, cargo, accessories, and trailer tongue weight).
• The range of motion of the trailer is limited by the ball and hitch. Do not tow
a trailer on rough terrain.
• Drive slowly and carefully. Towing can reduce handling, stability, accelera-
tion, braking performance, durability, and battery range.
• Towing a load increases braking distances required for slowing or stopping
the vehicle.
• Do not attach unapproved accessories to the hitch receiver.
• Trailer tongue weight must be between 8% and 12% of the gross trailer
weight for safe towing.
• Avoid parking on an incline.
• Do not operate on a grade exceeding 20%.
• Always secure the cargo.
40
Attach a trailer to the tow hitch only. Attaching the
trailer at any other location can cause a loss of vehi-
cle control.
Do not attach unapproved accessories to the hitch
receiver. Towing and hitch mounted accessories can
change the performance qualities of the vehicle and
cause dangerous handling characteristics, possible
rollover, or vehicle damage.
Do not attempt to tow with a vehicle not equipped
with rear hitch.
