Towing with the Vehicle

TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Maximum gross vehicle combination weight should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning can cause the vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Stay clear from the area between the tow vehicle and the towed vehicle or trailer.
Because towing a vehicle or trailer can have an adverse effect on vehicle handling, be especially cautious when towing
with a vehicle. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and have
someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load of the trailer.
After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.
