Maintenance When Trailer
Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re
pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more
on
this. Things that are especially important in trailer
operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t
overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belts, cooling system
and brake adjustment. Each of these
is
covered
in
this
manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly.
If
you’re trailering, it’s a good idea
to
review these
sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are
tight.
