OPERATION<br />
Towing Loads<br />
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of<br />
control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when towing:<br />
1. Never load more than 150 lbs. (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing<br />
bracket.<br />
2. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing.<br />
See page 40. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.<br />
3. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See<br />
the towing capacity chart below and the specifications charts beginning<br />
on page 98.<br />
4. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a<br />
trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.<br />
5. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.<br />
