View from below the vehicle 13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect.When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
16. The maximum permissible overhang of the coupling point : 38.98 in.(990 mm).
NOTE: When towing check transaxle fluid more frequently. CAUTION: If overheating should occur when towing,(temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the following action may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place the gear selection in park or neutral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is too much wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.

YC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain connections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 60mph).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than nor-
mal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not use

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
SD070E1-E 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly be- fore raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wheel brace counterclockwise. Ensure that the wheel brace socket is seated properly on the nut and that it cannot slip. Do not remove the nuts at this stage. SD070F1-F 4. Put the Jack in Place The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack should be positioned as shown in the drawing.

D060F02E-EAT 5. Raising the Car After inserting a bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the bar into the jack as shown in the draw- ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and will
not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or
sand, place
a board, brick, flat stone or other object under thebase of the jack to keep it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove
the flat tyre. WARNING: Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the jack could fall and cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.

To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed. WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use a tyre chains less than 10mm to "16,
"17 tyre.
o Avoid sudden stop and turn.
o Tighten firmly not to hear contact sound, if it still sounds, remove the chains for dam-age protection. I060A01GK-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon the conditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly than those fitted to the rear of the vehicle and therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an even wear rate across the tyre set. For vehicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre alternation. It is not recommended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE: Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle with the original steel wheels.
WARNING: When rotating the 215/45 R17 tyres, ensure to follow the"ROTATION" direction marked on the sidewall of tyres. When rotating the tyres of the left and right, separate the wheel from the tyre and then re- assemble them. However, it is acceptable that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunc- tion with Original Equipment aluminium wheels since the offset of both wheels is compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.
I050A01GK-EAT TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the following information.
