Use only a hitch that con-

Follow the directions supplied
by the hitch manufacturer.
Lubricate the hitch ball with a
light coating of grease.
Remove the hitch ball when-
ever you are not towing a

hitch if you do not need it.
After removing the hitch, seal
any mounting holes in the
vehicle body to prevent entry
of any substances into the
vehicle.
