2. To reinstall the cover, insert the

four plastic tabs on top of the cover

into the corresponding slots (B),

and push the cover into the bumper

trim.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is

properly attached to your vehicle. Contact your authorized dealer or a

reliable trailer dealer as soon as possible if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper; use a

load-carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that

10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue, not to exceed

the maximum tongue load of 500 lb (227 kg) on a Class III receiver.

Weight-distributing hitch

When hooking-up a trailer using a weight-distributing hitch, always use

the following procedure:

1. Park the vehicle (without the trailer) on a level surface.

2. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the

fender, this is H1.

3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the weight distributing bars

connected.

4. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the

fender a second time, this is H2.

5. Install and adjust the tension in the weight distributing bars so that

the height of the front fender is approximately halfway between H1 and

H2.

6. Check that the trailer is level. If not level, adjust the ball height

accordingly and repeat Steps 3–6.
