Driving Your Vehicle
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:
• Due to higher load during trailer usage,
overheating might occur on hot days or
during uphill driving. If the coolant
gauge indicates over-heating, switch
off the air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool down the
engine.
• Do not switch off the engine while the
coolant gauge indicates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool down the
engine)
• When towing check transmission fluid
more frequently.
Vehicle Load Limit
Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tire and

familiarize yourself with the following

weight ratings, from the vehicle’s
