The weight of the cargo load must be properly distributed over both the front and rear axles. If you are unsure of your vehicle’s front, rear or total weight, weigh the vehicle at a weigh station. Your dealer can assist you with this. ■ TRAILER TOWING CAUTION If you don't use the correct equipment and drive properly, you could lose control when you pull a trailer behind your vehicle. You could have a serious accident. For example, if the trailer is too heavy, the brakes may not work well, or they may not even work at all. You and your passengers could be seriously injured. NOTICE Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this section. If you think you want to pull a trailer, see your dealer for information on your vehicle's trailer towing ability. . . . 274
AKENG44_Escalade Page 275 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 3 CAUTION If you have a rear-most window open and you pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon monoxide (CO) could come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness or death. To maximize your safety when towing a trailer: • Have your exhaust system inspected for leaks, and make necessary repairs before starting on your trip. • Never drive with the liftgate or the rear-most windows open. CAUTION (Continued) If exhaust does come into your vehicle through a window in the rear or another opening, drive with your front, main heating or cooling system on with the fan on any speed and using any setting that brings in outside air. This will bring fresh air into your vehicle. See "Heating and Air Conditioning System" in Section 1. NOTICE Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come into contact with your vehicle. To avoid vehicle damage, do not make very sharp turns while trailering. The maximum loaded trailer weight you can pull with your vehicle depends on your intended use and what special equipment has been installed on the vehicle. Information on trailer towing ability, special equipment required, and optional equipment available should be obtained from your dealer. Installation of towing equipment should be carried out only by your dealer. Your dealer has the proper installation specifications and is aware of any necessary vehicle modifications. – – – 275 . . .
