8. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your
vehicle and trailer moving, and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the
brakes are working. This lets you check
your electrical connection at the same time.
9. During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
10.Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
11.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
12.Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long
or too frequently. This could cause the brakes
to overheat, resulting in reduced braking
efficiency.
13.When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear
and use the engine braking effect.
When ascending a long grade, downshift the
transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speed
to reduce chances of engine overloading
and/or overheating.
14.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not
hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the
accelerator. This can cause the automatic
transaxle to overheat. Use the parking brake
or footbrake.
15.If the transaxle shifts frequently while going
up a hill, shift down one gear.
NOTE:When towing check transaxle fluid more
frequently.

Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chain
connections as well as proper operation of
the trailer running lights, brake lights, and
turn signals.
2. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal
conditions.
3. To maintain engine braking efficiency, do not
tow a trailer with the transaxle in fifth gear
(manual transaxle) or overdrive (automatic
transaxle).
4. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
5. Check the condition and air pressure of all
tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire
pressure can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
6. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af-
fected by crosswind and buffeting.
When being passed by a large vehicle, keep
a constant speed and steer straight ahead.
If there is too much wind buffeting, slow down
to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
7. When parking your car and trailer, especially
on a hill, be sure to follow all the normal
precautions. Turn your front wheel into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly, and put the
transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park
(automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks
at each of the trailer's tires. 4. The gross combination weight (sum of
your vehicle weight plus its load and the
total trailer weight) must not exceed the
following.

WARNING:o Improperly loading your car and trailer
can seriously affect its steering and brak-
ing performance causing a crash which
could cause serious injury or death.
o Do not exceed 45 mph or the posted
towing speed limit, whichever is lower.

Towing a Car With Manual Transaxle
D080C01O-AAT
Towing a Car With Automatic Transaxle
o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake is
released.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels
on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is
in neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key
is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to
prevent damage to the steering lock mecha-
nism, which is not designed to hold the front
wheels straight while the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged, a towing dolly
must be used.
CAUTION:o When towing the 2WD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, the vehicle
should be towed with wheel lift type
truck.
Otherwise, the CV joint boot can inter-
fere with the towing hook caused by
insufficient clearance resulting in CV
joint boot damage.
o 4 Wheel Drive cannot be towed with a
tow truck. It must be towed by lifting all
4 wheels.
CAUTION:o A car with an automatic transaxle should
never be towed from the rear with the
front wheels on the ground. This can
cause serious damage to the transaxle.
If the car must be towed from the rear, a
towing dolly must be used under the
front wheels.
o If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at
speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h)

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D080D01O-AAT
EMERGENCY TOWINGFor emergency towing when no commercial
tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,
chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under
the front/rear of your car. Be very careful when
attempting this procedure when the vehicle is on
any unpaved surface to avoid damage to your
vehicle.
Nor should towing be attempted if the wheels,
drive train, axles, steering or brakes are dam-
aged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in
neutral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine
off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed car to
steer it and operate the brakes.
NOTE:To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-
hicle, limit the towing to 10 mph and not for
more than 1 mile at ANY TIME.
NOTE:Before towing, check the level of the
transaxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" mark
on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add
fluid, a towing dolly must be used as de-
scribed above.
D080C02O
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be
sure the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position.
A driver must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes.
