Towing 245 Trailer Lamps Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for hooking up the lamps. Before Towing a Trailer Practice turning, stopping and backing up to get the feel of the vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles. When Towing a Trailer • Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles (800 kilometers). • Do not make full-throttle starts. • Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers). • When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather, place gearshift in position P to aid engine and transmission cooling and to help A/C performance. • Turn off the speed control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades. • Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not apply the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become less effective. • If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul feature, use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking and helps eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel economy and transmission cooling. • If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac™ with RSC, you may experience AdvanceTrac™ with RSC activations during typical cornering maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer; this is normal. Cornering at a slower speed while towing reduces the tendency of the AdvanceTrac™ stability enhancement system to activate. • If you are towing a trailer frequently in hot weather, hilly conditions, at GCWR (or any combination of these factors), consider refilling your rear axle with synthetic gear lubricant, if not already so equipped.

Trailer Lamps

Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running

lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact

your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions

and equipment for hooking up the lamps.

Before Towing a Trailer

Practice turning, stopping and backing up to get the feel of the

vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make

wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.

When Towing a Trailer

•

Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles

(800 kilometers).

•

Do not make full-throttle starts.

•

Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts

thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).

•

When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather, place

gearshift in position

to aid engine and transmission cooling and to

help A/C performance.

•

Turn off the speed control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The

speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on

long, steep grades.

•

Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not

apply the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become less

effective.

•

If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul

feature, use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking

and helps eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel

economy and transmission cooling.

•

If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac™ with RSC, you may

experience AdvanceTrac™ with RSC activations during typical

cornering maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer; this is normal.

Cornering at a slower speed while towing reduces the tendency of the

AdvanceTrac™ stability enhancement system to activate.

•

If you are towing a trailer frequently in hot weather, hilly conditions,

at GCWR (or any combination of these factors), consider refilling

your rear axle with synthetic gear lubricant, if not already so

equipped. See the

Capacities and Specifications

chapter for the

lubricant specification.
