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, 
belts, cooling system  and  brake system. 
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. 
Trailer Wiring Harness 
Your vehicle has  a trailer wiring harness located at the 
rear of  your vehicle. 
To 
use the trailer wiring harness 
you  need  a converter kit. Contact your dealer for more 
information.
