Do not exceed the maximum load specified on the certification label. (GVWR including trailer: 6,000 kg (13,200 lbs.), Maximum towing capacity: 3,500 kg (7,710 lbs.))

Towing a trailer that exceeds the maximum towing capacity may exceed the vehicle’s limits and result in engine damage, transmission failure, structural damage, loss of vehicle control, rollover, or personal injury.

Do not exceed the lower of the vehicle’s or the trailer hitch’s rated capacities. Overloading the vehicle or trailer hitch may reduce vehicle stability and handling. Failure to follow this instruction could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury, or death.

Ensure that the vertical load on the trailer hitch ball is always at an appropriate level. (Refer to the trailer loading recommendations.) Failure to follow this instruction could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury, or death.

Do not cut, drill, weld, or modify the trailer hitch. Altering the trailer hitch may reduce its rated capacity.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) does not control trailer brakes.

Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system directly to the vehicle’s brake system. The vehicle’s braking capacity may be insufficient, significantly increasing the risk of a collision.

Do not tow a trailer equipped with electric brakes unless the vehicle is equipped with a compatible aftermarket electronic trailer brake controller. Failure to follow this instruction could result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury, or death. Contact your trailer dealer for further information and support.

• Electric brakes and manual, automatic, or surge-type trailer brakes are safe when properly installed and adjusted according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Trailer brakes must comply with applicable regulations.

• When towing a trailer with a loaded weight exceeding approximately 750 kg (1,650 lbs.), it is recommended to use a trailer equipped with an independent brake system. For more information about trailer brakes, refer to Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (ITBC).
