Your Driving, the Road, and the Vehicle Electric Power Steering This vehicle has On-Demand Electric-Assist Power Steering instead of conventional full-time hydraulic power steering. It uses electricity supplied by the same battery which is re-charged by the regenerative braking system. Because the system is On-Demand Electric-Assist, energy is used only when the steering wheel is turned, or when the steering gear is used to help isolate the forces of rough roads. This system does not use power steering fluid, making it maintenance-free. Towing Towing Your Vehicle Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle needs to be towed. Towing a Trailer For more information, see "Towing a Trailer" in the owner manual Index. Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It depends on how the rig is used. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much the vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important. It can depend on any special equipment on the vehicle, and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry. 4-2
