4Trailer towing
N00629800289
Towing a trailer will adversely affect your vehicle’s handling,
performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel
consumption, etc.).
If you do tow a trailer with this vehicle, be sure to use proper
equipment and cautious steering and braking for safe driving.
Weight limitsNever exceed the vehicle capacity weight, maximum trailer
weight (A), maximum tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).Vehicle capacity weightThe vehicle capacity weight is printed on the tire and loading
information placard as “combined weight of occupants and
cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occupants and the total
weight it can carry.
For more information, refer to “Tire and loading information
placard” on page 4-9.
CAUTION
!

Do not lose control of your vehicle when towing a
trailer. Always use proper equipment.
 Always drive carefully


Damage to your vehicle caused by improper equip-
ment or driving is not covered by your warranty.

Maximum trailer weightRecommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.
2.4 liter models

3.0 liter models

Tongue weightThe tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects
the vehicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any cargo you may carry,
and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you will tow
a trailer, you must include the tongue weight of the trailer in
your calculation of the vehicle capacity weight. For more infor-
mation regarding vehicle capacity weight, refer to “Tire and
loading information placard” on page 4-9.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight for your vehicle.
After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the
tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper.
Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of the loaded trailer weight
for dead weight hitches. Tongue loads can be adjusted by
proper distribution of the load in the trailer. This can be
checked by separately weighing the loaded trailer and then the
tongue.Gross axle weight rating (GAWR)The GAWRs are printed on the certification label which is riv-
eted on the door sill on the driver’s side.
Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 9-2.

Size DesignationEXAMPLE: P215/65R15
NOTE

European/Japanese metric tire sizing is based on Euro-
pean/Japanese design standards. Tires designed to these
standards have the tire size molded into the sidewall
beginning with the section width. The letter “P” is
absent from this tire size designation. Example:
215/65R15 96H.


LT (Light Truck) -metric tire sizing is based on U.S.A.
design standards. The size designation for LT-metric
tires is the same as for P-metric tires except for the let-
ters “LT” that are molded into the sidewall preceding
the size designation. Example: LT235/85R16.


Temporary spare tires are high pressure compact spares
designed for temporary emergency use only. Tires
designed to this standard have the letter “T” molded
into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Exam-
ple: T145/80D18 103M.

Maximum LoadMaximum load indicates the maximum load this tire is
designed to carry.Maximum PressureMaximum Pressure indicates the maximum permissible
cold tire inflation pressure for this tire. PPassenger car tire size based on U.S.A. design

RConstruction code
 “R” means radial construction.
 “D” means diagonal or bias construction.
15 Rim diameter in inches (in)95Load index
A numerical code associated with the maximum
load a tire can carry.
HSpeed symbol
A symbol indicating the range of speeds at
which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its
load index under certain operating conditions.
The maximum speed corresponding to the speed
symbol should only be achieved under specified
operating conditions. (i.e. tire pressure, vehicle
loading, road conditions and posted speed limits)

!

Overloading of your tire is dangerous. Overload-
ing can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling,
and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of
the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
Never overload them.
