Towing a Trailer
Your car has a trailer lighting
connector in the trunk. To use the
connector, remove the left cover by
unscrewing the knob. Refer to the
drawing above for the wiring color
code and purpose of each connector
pin.
Since the lighting and wiring can be
different for various brands of
trailers, have a technician who is
familiar with your trailer modify its
lighting plug. A converter may be
required between the car and trailer
for the lights to work correctly.
Before Starting Out
As you are preparing to tow your
trailer, do the following:
Measure the trailer's tongue load.
You can do this with a bathroom
scale.
Verify that the hitch and safety
chain are securely fastened.
Check the condition and air
pressure of all tires on the trailer
and your car. Low tire pressure
can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire.
With everything loaded and the
trailer connected, check that the
rear of the car is not sagging. If so,
redistribute the load in the car.
Check that all lights on the car and
trailer are working properly.
