STARTING AND OPERATING 203
Towing Requirements — Tires

Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire.

Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) when
towing while using a full size spare tire.

Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle.

Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage.

Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire
damage before towing a trailer.

Replacing tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehicle'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 braking
and possible personal injury.

An electronically actuated trailer brake
controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. 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 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers
in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).
Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And
Wiring
Whenever pulling a trailer, regardless of the trailer
size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are
required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a wiring
harness. Use a factory approved trailer harness
and connector.
NOTE:
Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring
harness.
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 accident.

Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should allow for
additional space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.

The ABS with which the car is equipped will not
control the braking system of the trailer.
Particular caution is therefore required on
slippery roads.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 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 effort, and longer stopping
distances.
