Total Weight on

Your

Vehicle’s

Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the

recommended pressure for cold tires. You’ll find these

numbers on the Tire-Loading Information label (found

inside the trunk lid) or see “Loading Your Vehicle”

the

Index. Then be sure you don’t go over the

GVW

limit for

your vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tongue.

Hitches

It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are a

few reasons

why

you’ll need the right hitch. Here are

some rules to follow:

Will you have to make any holes

the body of your

vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do,

then be sure to seal the holes later when you remove

the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon

monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your

vehicle (see “Carbon Monoxide”

the Index). Dirt

and water can, too.

The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended

for hitches.

not attach rental hitches

other

bumper-type hitches

them. Use only a

frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to

the bumper.

Safety Chains

You

should always attach chains between your vehicle

and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue

of the trailer

that the tongue will not drop to the road

if it becomes separated from

the

hitch. Instructions

about safety chains may be provided by the hitch

manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the

manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety

chains and do not attach them to the bumper. Always

leave just enough slack

you can turn with your rig.

And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs.

(450

kg)

loaded, then

needs its own brakes

and

they

must be

adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for

the trailer brakes

you’ll be able to install, adjust and

maintain them properly. Because you have anti-lock

brakes, do not try to tap into your vehicle’s brake

system. If you do, both brake systems won’t work well,

or at all.
