ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
Follow these guidelines for safe towing:
•Do not tow a trailer until you drive yourvehicle at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km).
•Consult your local motor vehicle lawsfor towing a trailer.
•See the instructions included withtowing accessories for the properinstallation and adjustmentspecifications.
•Service your vehicle more frequently ifyou tow a trailer. See your scheduledmaintenance information.
•If you use a rental trailer, follow theinstructions the rental agency givesyou.
You can find information on loadspecification terms found on the tire labeland Safety Compliance label as well asinstructions on calculating your vehicle'sload in the Load Carrying chapter. SeeLoad Limit (page 214).
Remember to account for the trailertongue weight as part of your vehicle loadwhen calculating the total vehicle weight.
Hitches
Do not use a hitch that either clamps ontothe bumper or attaches to the axle.
Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of thetotal trailer weight is on the tongue.
Safety Chains
Note:Never attach safety chains to thebumper.
Always connect the safety chains to thehook retainers of your vehicle hitch.
To connect the safety chains, cross themunder the trailer tongue and allow enoughslack for turning tight corners. Do not allowthe chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
WARNING: Do not connect atrailer's hydraulic brake system directlyto your vehicle's brake system. Yourvehicle may not have enough brakingpower and your chances of having acollision greatly increase.
Electric brakes and manual, automatic orsurge-type trailer brakes are safe if youinstall them properly and adjust them tothe manufacturer's specifications. Thetrailer brakes must meet local and federalregulations.
The rating for the tow vehicle's brakingsystem operation is at the gross vehicleweight rating, not the gross combinedweight rating.
Trailer Lamps
WARNING: Never connect anytrailer lamp wiring to the vehicle's taillamp wiring; this may damage theelectrical system resulting in fire. Contactyour authorized dealer as soon aspossible for assistance in proper trailertow wiring installation. Additionalelectrical equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towedvehicles. Make sure all running lights, brakelights, direction indicators and hazard lightsare working.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing upto get the feel of your vehicle-trailercombination before starting on a trip.When turning, make wider turns so thetrailer wheels clear curbs and otherobstacles.

Track Use Maintenance Intervals
Follow these maintenance intervals forwhen you use your vehicle on a track or ina high speed event.
Vehicle Use and ExampleInterval
Change the engine oil and filterOne track weekend or approximately 4hours of track use
Change the rear axle fluidEvery 500 mi (800 km)1
1 Change the fluid every 500 mi (800 km) or when a message appears in the informationdisplay stating that the axle fluid is over temperature.
Timing Chain
If you use your vehicle extensively at a racetrack or at high rpm, it is possible to exceedthe service life of the engine timing chain.A wrench indicator light illuminates whenit is time for you to replace your chain.Have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Adjustable Camber Front StrutTop Mounts (If Equipped)
Your vehicle has adjustable strut mountswhich you can use to adjust the camber ofyour vehicle before and after a track eventto the specifications listed in the RoadCourse Alignment Recommendations tablepreviously shown.
Note:After your track day is complete,return your car to the street alignment andtire pressures.
Aerodynamics (If Equipped)
Adjustable Rear Wing
The rear wing generates aerodynamicdown-force at speeds greater than 50 mph(80 km/h).
Regularly inspect the rear wing panel andattachment points for damage orlooseness.
You can adjust the wing using the holepattern at the top of the stanchion.
Moving the wing up increases rear downforce and overall understeer. Moving thewing down decreases the rear down forceand overall understeer.
