Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle has a trailer lighting
connector in the trunk by the left tail-
light. To use the connector, undo the
fastener on the left side of the trunk
lining. Refer to the drawing above
for the wiring color code and pur-
pose of each connector pin.
Since the lighting and wiring can be
different for various brands of
trailers, have a technician who is
familiar with your trailer modify its
lighting plug. A converter may be
required between the vehicle and
trailer for the lights to work
correctly.
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 vehicle. 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 vehicle is not sagging.
If so, redistribute the load in the
vehicle.
Check that all lights on the vehicle
and trailer are working properly.
