Checking weights of vehicle and trailer
To assure that the tow vehicle and trailer are in 
compliance with the maximum permissible weight 
limits, and to know the actual weights, have the loaded 
rig (tow vehicle including driver, passengers and cargo, 
trailer fully loaded) weighed on a commercial scale.
Check the vehicle’s front and rear Gross Axle Weight 
(GAW), the GTW and TW. The values as measured must 
not be exceeded, according to the weight listed under 
“Vehicle and trailer weight and ratings”.
Attaching a trailer
Please observe maximum permitted trailer dimensions 
(width and length).
Most states and all Canadian provinces require safety 
chains between your tow vehicle and the trailer. The 
chains should be crisscrossed under the trailer tongue. 
They must be attached to the hitch receiver, and not to 
the vehicle’s bumper or axle. Be sure to leave enough 
slack in the chains to permit turning corners.
Most states and all Canadian provinces require a 
separate brake system at various trailer weights.
Caution!
Do not connect a trailer brake system (if trailer is so 
equipped) directly to the vehicle’s hydraulic brake 
system, as your vehicle is equipped with antilock 
brakes. If you do, neither the vehicle’s brakes nor the 
trailer’s brakes will function properly.
The provided vehicle electrical wiring harness for trailer 
towing has a brake signal wire (color orange) for 
hook-up to a brake controller.
Most states and all Canadian provinces require a 
break-away switch on trailers with a separate brake 
system. The switch activates the trailer brakes in the 
possible event that the trailer might separate from the 
tow vehicle.
You should consider using a trailer sway control system.
