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.

Class III Trailer Hitch Safety Chain

Loops can be used as recovery

hooks.

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.

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. See your

authorized dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and

equipment for hooking up trailer lamps.

Never connect any trailer lighting to the vehicle’s taillamp

circuits, because it may damage the electrical system resulting in

fire. Contact your authorized dealer for assistance in proper trailer tow

wiring installation. Additional electrical equipment may be required.
