Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you
regularly pull a trailer. Important items to pay
particular attention to include engine oil, automatic
transaxle fluid, axle lubricant and cooling system
fluid. Brake condition is another important item to
frequently check. Each item 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.
Don’t forget to also maintain your trailer and hitch.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it periodically.
Preferably, conduct the check at the start of each
day’s driving. Most importantly, all hitch nuts and
bolts should be tight.
✽✽
NOTICE
Due to higher load during trailer usage,
overheating might occur in hot days or during
uphill driving. If the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating, switch off the A/C and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool down the engine.
