The above chart  is based on  the specified vehicle at  a maximum GCW
(Vehicle weight +  Trailer weight) equal  to 2,470 kg (5,450  lbs.).
Do not exceed  the GVWR or  the GAWR specified on  the
certification label.
Towing trailers beyond  the maximum recommended  gross trailer
weight exceeds the  limit of the  vehicle and could result  in
engine damage, transaxle  damage, structural damage,  loss of control,
and personal injury.
Preparing to tow
Use the proper  equipment for towing  a trailer and make  sure it is
properly attached to  your vehicle. See  your dealer or a  reliable trailer
dealer if you  require assistance.
Hitches
Do not use  hitches that clamp  onto the vehicle bumper.  Use a load
carrying hitch. You  must distribute the  load in your trailer  so that
1015% of the  total weight of  the trailer is on  the tongue.
Safety chains
Always connect the  trailers safety chains  to the frame or  hook retainers
of the vehicle  hitch. To connect  the trailers safety chains,  cross the
chains under the  trailer tongue and  allow slack for turning  corners.
If you use  a rental trailer,  follow the instructions that  the rental agency
gives to you.
