To reinstall the cover after towing, repeat the
procedure in reverse order.
NOTE:
Be sure to engage all tabs of the hitch receiver
cover in the bumper fascia prior to installation.
TRAILER AND TONGUE WEIGHT
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight
stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.
Weight Distribution
1 — Hitch Receiver Cover
2 — Locking Retainers
CAUTION!
Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in the
front of the trailer. This places 10% of the GTW on
the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over
the wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the
trailer to sway severely side to side which will
cause loss of control of the vehicle and trailer.
Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the
cause of many trailer collisions.
