Towing
a
Trailer
NOTICE:
Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your
vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by
your warranty.
To
pull a trailer correctly, follow
the advice in this part, and see your Aurora
retailer for important information about towing
a trailer with your vehicle.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer.
To
identify what the
vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle,
you
should read the information
in
"Weight
of
the
Trailer"
that appears later
in
this section. But trailering is
different
than
just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes
in
handling, durability, and
fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering takes correct
equipment, and
it
has
to
be used properly.
That's the reason for this part.
In
it
are many
time-tested, important trailering tips and safety rules.
Many
of
these are important for your safety and that
of
your
passengers.
So
please read this section carefully
before
you
pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle,
wheel assemblies, and tires are forced to work harder
against the drag
of
the added weight. The engine is
required to operate at relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads, generating extra heat. What's more, the
trailer adds considerably
to
wind resistance, increasing
the pulling requirements.
