Trailer hitch cover
Your vehicle is equipped with a removable trailer hitch trim cover. To
remove the trim cover:
1. Loosen the two push pins in the
bottom of the cover by turning them
counterclockwise with a flathead
screwdriver or similar object.
2. To reinstall the cover, insert the
three plastic tabs into their slots (as
shown in the illustration) and push
the cover up into the bumper trim.
3. Hold the cover against the bumper trim and reinstall the two screws.
Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer
dealer if you require assistance.
Hitches
Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper; use a
load-carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that
10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue, not to exceed
the maximum tongue loads as stated:
•
Class II receiver: 159 kg (350 lbs.)
•
Class III/IV receiver: 227 kg (500 lbs.) (weight-carrying)/331 kg
(730 lbs.) (weight-distributing)
