Towing Requirements – Tires
• Do not attempt to tow a trailer
while using a compact spare tire.
• Proper tire inflation pressures are
essential for the safe and satisfac-
tory operation of your vehicle. Re-
fer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating”
for proper tire inflation procedures.
• Check the trailer tires for proper
tire inflation pressures before
trailer usage.
• Check for signs of tire wear or vis-
ible tire damage before towing a
trailer. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for the proper inspection
procedure.
• When replacing tires, refer to “Tires
– General Information” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for proper tire
replacement procedures. Replacing
tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehi-
cle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
– Do not interconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
– When towing a trailer equipped
with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake
controller is not required.
– Trailer brakes are recommended
for trailers over 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
450 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes, and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake
lining wear, higher brake pedal ef-
fort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
• Do not connect trailer brakes to
your vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an ac-
cident.
• Towing any trailer will increase
your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in an accident.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stop lights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a seven-pin or a thirteen-pin wiring
harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring
into the vehicles wiring harness.
