Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-11
6
N00629801387
Towing a trailer will adversely affect your
vehicle’s handling, performance, braking,
durability and driving economy (fuel con-
sumption, etc.).
If you do tow a trailer with this vehicle, be
sure to use proper equipment and cautious
steering and braking for safe driving.
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight,
maximum trailer weight (A), maximum
tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR).
The vehicle capacity weight is printed on the
tire and loading information placard as “com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occu-
pants and the total weight it can carry.
For more information, refer to “Tire and load-
ing information placard” on page 6-7.
CAUTION
Do not load luggage directly onto the roof.
Use a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual provided with the roof carrier.
Place the luggage on the carrier so that its
weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that
are wider than the roof carrier.
Before driving and after traveling a short dis-
tance, always check the load to make sure it
is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Stop the vehicle periodically and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not
secure, it could fall from the vehicle and
damage your vehicle, another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.
NOTE
To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas
mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in
use.
Before using an automatic car wash, check
with the attendant to determine if the roof
carrier should be removed.
Be sure that adequate clearance is main-
tained for raising the sunroof and/or liftgate
when installing a roof carrier. (For vehicle
with sunroof only)
