underbody structure. For trailers over 2,000 lb (907 kg), use a

frame-mounted weight-distributing hitch.

Do not install a single or multi-clamp type bumper hitch, or a hitch

which attaches to the axle. Underbody-mounted hitches are acceptable if

they are installed properly. Follow the towing instructions of a reputable

rental agency.

Whenever a trailer hitch and hardware are removed, make sure all

mounting holes in the underbody are properly sealed to prevent noxious

gases or water from entering.

Safety chains

Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers

of the vehicle hitch. To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the

chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners.

If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions that the rental agency

gives to you.

Do not attach safety chains to the bumper.

Trailer brakes

Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are

safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’s

specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal

regulations.

WARNING: Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system

directly to your vehicle’s brake system. Your vehicle may not

have enough braking power and your chances of having a collision

greatly increase.

The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the

GVWR not GCWR.

Trailer lamps

Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running

lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Contact

your authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions

and equipment for hooking-up trailer lamps.

Using a step bumper (if equipped)

The optional step bumper is equipped with an integral hitch and requires

only a ball with a

⁄

in. (19 mm) shank diameter. The bumper has a

2,000 lb (907 kg) trailer weight and 200 lb (91 kg) tongue weight

capability.
