Attention! Refrain from towing a trailer for the first 2,000 km to ensure that the parts break in (running-in) new car. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe engine or transmission damage.
Towing hooks
Select the correct drawbar combination, making sure it is in the same location as the trailer or towed vehicle. Use a drawbar that evenly distributes the load on the chassis. The trailer hitch must be securely attached to the vehicle by a qualified mechanic.
Trailer with brakes
If your trailer is equipped with brakes, make sure it meets federal and/or local laws, is properly installed, and is in good working order.
Attention! Do not connect the trailer brake system to the vehicle brake system.
Attention! When towing a trailer on a steep hill (exceeding 12%) pay special attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge to prevent the engine from overheating.
Attention! If the arrow of the engine coolant temperature gauge enters the zone «H» («Hot») dial, stop the vehicle in a safe place and let the engine idle until it cools down.
Maximum trailer weight and maximum hitch load
The hitch load can be increased or decreased by redistributing the load in the trailer. This can be verified by checking the gross weight of the loaded trailer and the load on the hitch.
