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, belt, 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.
