TOWING A TWLER
I
‘ A CAUTION:
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.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer.
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.
That’s the reason for this section. In
it are many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules. Many of these are important for your
safety and that
of your passengers. So please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder against the drag of the added weight.
The engine is required
to operate at relatively higher speeds and under

A CAUTION:
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that
can cause very bad injuries. Don't smoke if you're near gasoline
or refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
If you're refueling your tank using a hydrocarbon recovery nozzle, the
fuel pump may shut off before the
fuel capacity of your tank reaches full.
This
is a normal condition. If you slow the flow of fuel going into the
tank, it is more likely to fill to capacity without shutting off.
The cap is behind a hinged door
on the left side of your vehicle. Pushin
on the front edge
of the door to open.

release lever located
on the left side in the
trunk. Pull the lever
toward the rear
of your
vehicle to release the
fuel door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door.
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out on you if you
open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way.
When you put the cap back on, turn it
to the right until you hear a
clicking noise.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load,
you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
127 pounds (58 kilograms) in your trunk.
I
A CAUTION:
I- Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could
cause you to lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
