Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recommen-
dation.
●
All trailer lights work as required by law.
●
All lights work each time you connect them.
●
The trailer ball is set at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
●
The trailer is level when it is hitched.
Do not drive if the trailer is not level, and check for improper tongue weight,
overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.
●
The trailer cargo is securely loaded.

local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for tow-
