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 transaxle fluid (don’t overfill),
engine oil, belt, cooling system and brake adjustment.
Each
of
these is covered in this manual, and the Index

them quickly.

review these sections before you start
your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.
