Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips
Driving with a Trailer
When towing a trailer:
Become familiar with the state
and local laws that apply
specifically to trailer towing.
Driving and Operating
Do not tow a trailer during the
first 800 km (500 miles), to
prevent damage to the engine,
axle or other parts.
Then, during the first 800 km
(500 miles) trailer towing, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle.
Vehicles with automatic
transmissions can tow in D
(Drive) but M (Manual Mode) is
recommended. See Manual
Mode on page 9 29. Use a lower
gear if the transmission shifts
too often. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, it is better
not to use the highest gear.
WARNING
When towing a trailer, exhaust
gases may collect at the rear of
the vehicle and enter if the
liftgate, trunk/hatch, or rear-most
window is open.
