Driving and Operating

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.

Weight-Distributing Hitch Adjustment

A weight-distributing hitch may be useful
with some trailers.

1. Front of Vehicle
2. Body to Ground Distance

When using a weight-distributing hitch,
measure the front fender height above the
front axle distance (2) before and after
connecting the trailer. Adjust the spring bars
until the front fender height distance (2) is
approximately half way between the first
and second measurements.

Tires

.

Do not tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire on the vehicle.

.

Tires must be properly inflated to support
loads while towing a trailer. See

for instructions on proper tire

inflation.

Safety Chains

Always attach chains between the vehicle
and the trailer, and attach the chains to the
holes on the trailer hitch platform.
Instructions about safety chains may be
provided by the hitch manufacturer or by
the trailer manufacturer.

Cross the safety chains under the tongue of
the trailer to help prevent the tongue from
contacting the road if it becomes separated
from the hitch. Always leave just enough
slack so the combination can turn. Never
allow safety chains to drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

Loaded trailers over 450 kg (1,000 lb) must
be equipped with brake systems and with
brakes for each axle. Trailer braking
equipment conforming to Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) requirement
CAN3-D313, or its equivalent, is
recommended.

State or local regulations may require
trailers to have their own braking system if
the loaded weight of the trailer exceeds
certain minimums that can vary from state
to state.
