TRAILERING SAFETY
The weight distribution of the cargo loaded onto the trailer is important and will
have an impact on how the vehicle handles on the road. Ensure the weight of
the cargo is distributed properly and the trailer is not rear, front, or side heavy.
Improperly trailering or attempting to tow this vehicle can result in serious injury
or death. Improper transportation can also cause vehicle damage, which may
involve parts flying off and creating road hazards for other motorists.
Face the vehicle forward.
When using a non-enclosed trailer, face the vehicle forward or remove the roof.
Always use a spotter if you are uncomfortable loading the vehicle on your own.
A wheel chock or marker can also be used as an indication of how close you will
park the vehicle from the front of the trailer.
Ensure everything in the vehicle is secure.
Walk around the vehicle and make sure:
• Doors are latched
• Front hood and storage compartments are locked
• Rear seat backs are latched
• Cargo is secured or removed
• Vehicle is in PARK (P)
Use designated tie down points.
This vehicle is equipped with four tie down points for transport. Route straps so
that they cannot contact any part of the vehicle and become worn or loose
during transport. Do not use winch to secure vehicle to trailer.
Towing this vehicle is not recommended.
Transport this vehicle on a trailer or flatbed with all four wheels off the ground. If
it is unavoidable to tow this vehicle when it is disabled, place this vehicle's
transmission in NEUTRAL and tow the shortest distance possible. Do not tow
this vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
Use suitable tie downs.
Securing devices, such as tie down straps, are manufactured to support a
maximum strength or load limit that can be applied during normal service. This is
known as the Working Load Limit (WLL). Each tie-down strap must have a WLL
exceeding the minimum WLL.
