CAUTION
■
To avoid accident or injury
●
Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
●
Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
●
Do not use cruise control when you are towing.
■
Hitches
●
Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
●
Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
●
Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
●
Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer. After
removing the hitch, seal any mounting hole in the vehicle body to prevent
entry of any substances into the vehicle.
■
When towing a trailer
●
If the gross trailer weight exceeds 600 lb. (272 kg), trailer brakes are
required.
●
Never tap into your vehicle's hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehi-
cle's braking effectiveness.
●
Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both
the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch
ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering into another lane.
