NOTE:

Trailer Brakes
Safety Chains
If your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure  it conforms to federal  and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed and
operating correctly.
Should the hitch connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the
trailer  or  vehicle  could  wander  dangerously
across other lanes of traffic and ultimately col-
lide with another vehicle. To eliminate this po-
tentially dangerous situation, safety chains, at-
tached  between  your  car  and  the trailer  or
towed vehicle, are required in most provinces.
the back than in the front. About 60% of
the trailer load should be in the front half
on the  trailer and the  remaining 40% in
the rear.
2.  The total gross vehicle weight with trailer
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) shown on the vehicle iden-
tification plate  (see page 8-1).  The total
gross  vehicle  weight  is  the  combined
weight of the vehicle, driver, all passen-
gers and their luggage, cargo, hitch, trailer
tongue  load and  other  optional  equip-
ment.
3.  The  front or  rear axle  weight must  not
exceed  the  Gross  Axle  Weight Rating
(GAWR) shown on the vehicle identifica-
tion plate  (see page  8-1).  It is  possible
that your  towing package  does not  ex-
ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.
Improper trailer loading and/or too much
luggage  in the  trunk  can  overload the
rear axle. Redistribute the load and check
the axle weight again.
NOTE:
If you tow a  trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance  due to
the additional load.  See "Maintenance Un-
der Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-4.

CAUTION:
o
Never connect a trailer brake system di-
rectly to the vehicle brake system.
o
When towing a trailer on steep grades (in
excess of 12%) pay close attention to the
engine  coolant  temperature   gauge  to
ensure the engine does  not overheat. If
the  needle of  the  coolant  temperature
gauge  moves  across the  dial  towards
"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so, and allow the engine to
idle until it cools down. You may proceed
once the engine has cooled sufficiently.

4.  The  maximum permissible overhang  of
the coupling point is 570 mm.
(ATOS VAN : 568mm)
Tongue loads can be increased  or decreased
by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can
be verified by checking  the total weight of the
loaded trailer and then checking the load on the
tongue.
