OPERATION Hauling Cargo Towing Loads WARNING Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when towing: Never load more than 150 lbs. (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing.
