Driving and Operating
recommended trailer tongue weight for each
trailer. Never exceed the maximum loads for
your vehicle, hitch and trailer.
After loading the trailer, separately weigh
the trailer and then the tongue to see if the
weights are proper. If the trailer tongue
weight is too high or too low, adjustments
might be made by moving some items
around in the trailer.
If a cargo carrier is used in the trailer hitch
receiver, choose a carrier that positions the
load as close to the vehicle as possible.
Make sure the total weight, including the
carrier, is no more than half of the
maximum allowable tongue weight for the
vehicle or 227 kg (500 lb), whichever is less.
Ask your dealer for trailering information or
assistance.
Towing Equipment
Hitches
Always use the correct hitch equipment for
your vehicle. Crosswinds, large trucks going
by, and rough roads can affect the trailer
and the hitch.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not attach to
the bumper.
Hitch Cover
To remove hitch cover, if equipped:
1. Remove the two fasteners on the
lower tabs.
2. Pull the lower edge of the cover to
about a 45 degree angle.
3. Pull the cover downward to disengage
the upper attachments.
To reinstall hitch cover:
1. Hold cover at a 45 degree angle to the
vehicle and push the upper tabs into the
slots in the bumper.
2. Push the bottom of the cover forward
until the lower tabs line up with the
lower slots.
3. Snap the hitch cover into place by
pushing the upper corners forward.
4. Reinstall the two fasteners on the
lower tabs.
Consider using mechanical sway controls
with any trailer. Ask a trailering professional
about sway controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
