Maintenance When Trailer Towing; Trailer Wiring Harness - Hummer H2 2009 Owner's Manual

Maintenance When Trailer Towing

The vehicle needs service more often when pulling a
trailer. See this manual's Maintenance Schedule or Index
for more information. Things that are especially important
in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid,
engine oil, axle lubricant, belts, cooling system and brake
system. It is a good idea to inspect these before and
during the trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.
