the trailer load should be in the front half
on the  trailer and the  remaining 40%  in
the rear.

Never  connect  a  trailer   brake  system
directly to  the vehicle  brake system.
When towing a trailer on steep grades (in
excess of 12%) pay close attention to the
engine  coolant   temperature  gauge   to
ensure the  engine does not overheat.  If
the  needle  of  the  coolant  temperature
gauge  moves  across  the  dial  towards
"H" (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as
it is safe  to do so, and  allow the engine
to  idle  until   it  cools  down.  You   may
proceed  once   the  engine  has  cooled
sufficiently.

The  front or  rear axle  weight  must not
exceed  the  Gross  Axle  Weight  Rating
(GAWR)  shown on  the  vehicle  identifi-
cation plate (see page 8-2). It is possible
that your  towing  package does  not ex-
ceed the GVWR but exceeds the GAWR.
Improper trailer loading and/or too much
luggage in  the cargo area  can overload
the rear  axle. Redistribute  the load and
check the  axle weight  again.

Tongue  loads   can  be  increased   or  de-
creased  by  re-distributing the  load  in  the
trailer.
This can  be  verified by  checking the  total

the load on the tongue.
Should the hitch connection  between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the
trailer  or  vehicle  could  wander  dangerously
across other lanes of traffic and ultimately leave
the roadway. To eliminate this  potentially dan-
gerous  situation, safety  chains,  attached  be-
tween your car and the trailer or towed vehicle,
are required  in most states.

CAUTION:
The  following   specifications   are  recom-
mended when  towing a  trailer. The loaded
trailer weight cannot safely exceed  the val-
ues in  the chart.
