Trailer Hitches
!
Trailer Weight Limit
CAUTION:
Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible with
that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-
utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the
chassis.
o
o
Never connect a trailer brake system
directly to the vehicle brake system.
When towing a trailer on steep grades (in
excess of 6%) 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 hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT
USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT
ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

make sure it conforms to federal and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed and
operating correctly.

Safety Chains
Tongue loads can be increased or de-
creased by redistributing the load in the
trailer.
This can be verified by checking the total
weightoftheloadedtrailerandthenchecking
the load on the tongue.
Should the hitch connection between your ve-
hicleandthetrailerorvehicleyouaretowingfail,
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.
NOTE:
If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance due to
the additional load. See "Maintenance Un-
der Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
