Trailer lights should comply with federal and/or
local regulations. For assistance in hooking up
trailer lights, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or reputable trailer retailer.
Trailer brakes
When towing a trailer load of 3,500 lb (1,587
kg) or more, trailers with a brake system
MUST be used.
However, most states require a
separate braking system on trailers with a
loaded weight above a specific amount. Make
sure the trailer meets the local regulations and
the regulations where you plan to tow.
Several types of braking systems are available.
Surge Brakes -
The surge brake actuator is
mounted on the trailer tongue with a hydraulic
line running to each trailer wheel. Surge brakes
are activated by the trailer pushing against the
hitch ball when the tow vehicle is braking.
Hydraulic surge brakes are common on rental
trailers and some boat trailers. In this type of
system, there is no hydraulic or electric
connection for brake operation between the
tow vehicle and the trailer.
Electric Trailer Brakes -
Electric braking
systems are activated by an electronic signal
sent from a trailer brake controller (special
brake sensing module).
Have a professional supplier of towing equip-
ment make sure the trailer brakes are properly
installed and demonstrate proper brake function
testing.
WARNING
Never connect a trailer brake system directly
to the vehicle brake system.
Pre-towing tips
.
Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded or unloaded trailer is
hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it has an
abnormal nose-up or nose-down condition;
check for improper tongue load, overload,
worn suspension or other possible causes of
either condition.
.
Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
.
Keep the cargo load as low as possible in
the trailer to keep the trailer center of
gravity low.
.
Load the trailer so approximately 60% of
the trailer load is in the front half and 40%
is in the back half. Also make sure the load
is balanced side to side.
.
Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure,
vehicle tire pressure, trailer light operation,
and trailer wheel lug nuts every time you
attach a trailer to the vehicle.
.
Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing
before driving the vehicle.
.
Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance is
known.
Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of
the vehicle’s behavior, you should practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area
which is free from traffic. Steering stability, and
braking performance will be somewhat different
than under normal driving conditions.
.
Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
.
Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-
tently becoming unlatched.
.
Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
.
Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
.
Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed. Some states or provinces have
specific speed limits for vehicles that are
towing trailers. Obey the local speed limits.
