Never use a tow bar which
attaches to the axle or the
bumper of your vehicle.

Never attach safety chains
to the bumper of your vehi-
cle. Secure connections so that they
can’t come loose.

Never connect trailer lights
directly into your vehicle’s
electrical system, or electrical system
damage may occur.

should follow all instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Nev-
er connect to the brake system of

trical supply directly from the wiring
harness.

SAFETY CHAINS
Always attach safety chains between your
vehicle and trailer. Cross safety chains un-
der the nose of the trailer so that the nose
will not drop to the road if the trailer be-
comes separated from the tow bar. Fol-
low the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack to permit full turning.
Never allow safety chains to drag on the
road.
TRAILER LIGHTS
Make sure your trailer is equipped with
lights which meet local requirements. Al-
ways check for the proper operation of all
trailer lights before you start to tow.
IMPORTANT Trailer towing puts addi-
tional stress on the engine, drive train, and
brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trail-
er during the first 960 km (600 miles) of
vehicle operation.
IMPORTANT For Automatic Transaxle
vehicles, do not use “D” range when tow-
ing on a steep hill. Towing in “D” range
when driving on a steep hill can cause au-
tomatic transaxle fluid overheating with-
out warning, which can result in transaxle
damage.
TOW BARS
Only use a tow bar that is designed to at-
tach to the chassis of your vehicle, and
a hitch that is designed to bolt to this
bracket.
