WARNING!

Improper towing can lead to an injury accident.

Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing

as safe as possible:

Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer

and will not shift during travel. When trailering

cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts

can occur that may be difficult for the driver to

control. You could lose control of your vehicle and

have an accident.

•

When hauling cargo, or towing a trailer, do not

overload your vehicleor trailer. Overloading cancause

a loss of control, poor performance, or damage to

brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspen-

sion, chassis structure, or tires.

•

Safety chains must always be used between your

vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to the

frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the

chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough

slack for turning corners.

•

Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.

When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow

vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in

P for Park. Always, block or 9chock9 the trailer wheels.

•

GCWR must not be exceeded.

•

Total weight must be distributed between the tow

vehicle and the trailer such that the following four

ratings are not exceeded:

1. GVWR

2. GTW

3. GAWR

4. Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized

(This requirement may limit the ability to always

achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a

percentage of total trailer weight).
