To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements
and recommendations in this manual concerning ve-
hicles used for trailer towing.Perform maintenance services as prescribed in the
“Maintenance Schedules” section. When your vehicle is
used for trailer towing, never exceed the gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) by the addition of:
•The tongue weight of the trailer.
•The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment
put in or on your vehicle.

the load on your vehicle.

matic transmission shifting. This action will also reduce
the possibility of transmission overheating and provide
better engine braking. Refer to “Transmission Shifting” in
this section for additional information.
