Driving and Operating

9-79

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 680 kg (1,500 lbs) 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.

Trailer Wiring Harness

If the vehicle does not have a
trailer towing package, the chassis
harness will contain the following
blunt cut circuits:

.

Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal

.

Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn

To add a trailer towing wiring
package, have it installed by
your dealer or a qualified service
center. Also, see Add-On Electrical
Equipment on page 9‑81
for more
information.

Heavy-Duty Trailer Wiring Package

If the vehicle has a trailer towing
package, the rear bumper harness
will have a seven‐pin universal
heavy‐duty trailer connector
