Towing a Trailer
Your car has a trailer lighting
connector under the cargo area
floor. To use the connector, lift
the floor and attach the hook at
the end of the strap to the roof
line.
You will find the connector under
the left side box. Refer to the
drawing below for the wiring
color code and purpose of each
connector pin.
Before Starting Out
As you are preparing to tow your
trailer, do the following:
Measure the trailer's tongue
load. You can do this with a
bathroom scale.
Verify that the hitch and safety
chain are securely fastened.
Check the condition and air
pressure of all tires on the
trailer and your car. Low tire
pressure can seriously affect
the handling. Also, check the
spare tire.
With everything loaded and
the trailer connected, check
that the rear of the car is not
sagging. If so, redistribute the
load in the car.
Check that all lights on the car
and trailer are working
properly.
Towing Safety
Your car will not stop as quickly
with a trailer in tow. Leave extra
distance between your car and
other vehicles. Avoid braking or
turning suddenly. This could
cause the trailer to jackknife or
possibly turn over.
Keep in mind that your total
vehicle is now much longer.
