Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,

If you do, here are some important points.

There are many different laws having to do with trailering. Make sure your
rig will be legal, not
only where you live but also where you’ll be driving. A
good source for this information can be state or provincial police.
Consider using
a sway control.
You can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls.
Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (800 km) your new
vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first
500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don’t drive
over
50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your
engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.
When towing a trailer, close all windows and set the Electronic
Climate Control System to
“ECON”, “AUTO”, “DEFOG” or
Defroster to assure that the fan is running.
Three important considerations have to do with weight:
1. Weight of the nailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than 1,000 pounds
(450 kg).
It depends on how you plan
to use your rig. For example, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your
vehicle is used to pull
a trailer are all important. And, it can also
depend on any special equipment that you have on your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer
for our trailering information or advice, or
you can write
us at Cadillac.
r
r.
In Canada, write to General Motors of Canada Limited, Customer L .
Assistance Center, 1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7.
2. Weight of the nailer Tongue
When a trailer is connected to your vehicle, the trailer tongue adds
to the weight your vehicle is carrying.
So, remember to subtract the
weight
of the trailer tongue from your vehicle’s capacity weight.
