2-5. Driving information

CAUTION

■To avoid an accident

●Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or posted towing speed limit, whichever

is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combination

increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause

loss of control.

●Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill

grades. Do not make sudden downshifts.

●Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could

cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency.
