Towing Loads

WARNING
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability.
Always follow these precautions when towing:
  1. Never load more than 250 lbs. (113 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
  2. When towing a disabled vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.
  3. Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 MPH (16 km/h) when towing.
  4. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.
  5. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
  6. The total load (operator, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch) must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
