Towing a Trailer Your vehicle has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo. You can also use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section. Be sure to read the Off-Highway Driving Guidelines section on page 405 if you plan to tow off paved surfaces. Load Limits Break-In Period Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle's first 600 miles (1,000 km) (see page 352). Exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive. Total Trailer Weight: The maximum allowable weight of the trailer and everything in or on it must not exceed 1,500 lbs (680 kg). Towing a load that is too heavy can seriously affect your vehicle's handling and performance. It can also damage the engine and drivetrain. Driving CONTINUED 397 2010 RDX
