The combined weight of the completed towing vehicle and the loaded trailer must not exceed the GCWR. The Tribute is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s) as specified above. Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified weight. The Tribute vehicle electrical system is not equipped to accommodate electric trailer brakes. WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label. Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in: • engine damage • transmission damage • structural damage • loss of control • personal injury Preparing to tow Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized Mazda dealer. Hitches Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10-15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue. 156 CIMS #602422 com_prep-and-hitches.j14 itdseq=187 CIMS #81322 com_hitches.01 itdseq=188 PAGE: 156 OP: root EDIT SESSION: 1 DATE: JUNE 15 2005 at 16:24 JOB: @ibm2/ford_pdm/CLS_ford/GRP_own2002/JOB_j14/DIV_mpdiff DIFF-MARKED Review Copy -- (OLD=2006 Tribute fus Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) 06.5 Tribute Champ (#26074) (May-02-2005 14:29:19)) (NEW=2006 Tribute fus Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) 2006.5 Tribute CNE Review (#26074) (Jun-15-2005 16:18:13)) 2006 Tribute (j14), Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) (own2002), Market: USA (fus)
