Towing
a
Trailer
If
you don’t use the correct equipment and drive
properly, you can lose control when you pull
a
trailer. For example,
if
the trailer is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
--
or even at all. You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
Pull a trailer only if you have followed all the
steps in this section. Ask your Oldsmobile retailer
for advice and information about towing
a
trailer
with your vehicle.
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 Oldsmobile
retailer for important information about towing
a
trailer with your vehicle.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with
proper towing equipment.
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.
