Driving and Operating

Towing Equipment

Hitches

Use the correct hitch equipment.
See your dealer or a hitch dealer for
assistance.

.

The rear bumper on the vehicle
is not intended for hitches. Do
not attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches to it. Use
only a frame-mounted hitch that
does not attach to the bumper.

.

Will any holes be made in the
body of the vehicle when the
trailer hitch is installed? If there
are, seal the holes when the
hitch is removed. If the holes are
not sealed, dirt, water, and
deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
from the exhaust can get into the
vehicle. See

Engine Exhaust on

page 9

.

Safety Chains

Always attach chains between the
vehicle and the trailer. 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.
Leave enough slack so the rig can
turn. Never allow safety chains to
drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

Does the trailer have its own
brakes? Be sure to read and follow
the instructions for the trailer brakes
so they are installed, adjusted, and
maintained properly.

Because the vehicle has antilock
brakes, do not tap into the vehicle's
brake system. If this is done, both
brake systems will not work well,
or at all.

Add-Ons

Add-On Electrical
Equipment

Do not add anything

you check with your dealer first.
Some electrical equipment can

by the vehicle's warranty. Some
add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from
working as they should.
