Towing a Trailer

Your car has a trailer lighting connec-

tor in the trunk by the left taillight.

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 car 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 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.
