Towing Loads
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death.
Always follow the precautions outlined below when towing:
1.
Do not exceed the recommended maximum towing loads for your vehicle (see Specications section, beginning on pg. 101).
2.
Make sure the vertical load on the trailer hitch never exceeds 100 kg or 220 lbs.
3.
Operate the vehicle slower than usual and take into consideration the terrain and the slope.
4.
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.
Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
Belt Life
To get the maximum belt life when towing, we recommend you use low gear for towing uphill.
