To reinstall the hitch cover:
1. Hold the cover at a 45 degree
angle to the vehicle and push the
upper tabs in the hitch cover
into the slots in the fascia.
2. Move the bottom of the cover
forward until the lower tabs line
up with the lower fascia slots.
3. Snap the hitch cover into place
by pushing the upper corners
forward.
4. Reinstall the two bolts on the
lower tabs by turning clockwise.
Safety Chains
Always attach chains between the
vehicle and the trailer. Cross the safety
chains under the tongue of the trailer
to help prevent the tongue from
contacting the road if it becomes
separated from the hitch. Always leave
just enough slack so the rig can turn.
Never allow safety chains to drag on
the ground.
Trailer Brakes
A loaded trailer that weighs more than
454 kg (1,000 lb) needs to have its own
brake system that is adequate for the
weight of the trailer. Be sure to read
and follow the instructions for the
trailer brakes so they are installed,
adjusted, and maintained properly.
Because the vehicle has antilock
brakes, do not tap into the vehicle's
brake system. If you do, both brake
systems will not work well, or at all.
