IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Trailer Weight Limit
Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to
allow the engine to properly break in. Fail-
ure to heed this caution may result in seri-
ous engine or transmission damage.
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.

Trailer Hitches
Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that its location is compatible with
that of the trailer or vehicle being towed. Use a
quality non-equalizing hitch which distributes
the tongue load uniformly throughout the chas-
sis.

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.
Safety Chains
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT
USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT
ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
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 potentially dangerous situa-
tion, safety chains, attached between your car
and the trailer or towed vehicle, are required in
most provinces.

Trailer Brakes
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.
NOTE:
Gross axle weight Gross vehicle weight
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 6-8.
