promptly stop  the vehicle. You  and
your passengers could be seriously
or fatally injured. Pull a trailer only if
you  have followed  all  the steps  in

NOTICE
Remember that trailering is different than
just
driving    your   vehicle    by   itself.
Pulling a trailer improperly can damage
your vehicle and result  in costly repairs
not covered by your warranty.
Trailering causes major  changes in han-
dling,   durability,    and   fuel   economy.
Successful,  safe trailering  requires  cor-
rect equipment, and cautious driving.
WARNING - Weight limits
Before towing,  make sure  the total
trailer  weight,   gross  combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight  and trailer tongue  load
are all within the limits.
To  identify   what  the   vehicle  trailering
capacity  is for  your vehicle,  you  should
refer to the chart on  this page.
This section  contains many  time-tested,
important trailering  tips and safety rules.
Many  of  these  are   important  for  your
safety   and  that   of   your  passengers.
Please read this  section carefully before
you pull a trailer.
