Driving while you tow
*
[DR38520( ALL)05/95]
Be especially careful when driving while you
tow a trailer. Never drive faster than 45 mph
(70 km/h) when you tow in hilly country on
hot days. Also, anticipate stops so that you can
brake gradually.

If you use the speed control while you are
towing on very long, steep grades, the speed
control may shut off.
*

compressor and increase the engine speed for a
short time.
