Starting and Operating Instructions

Trailer Brakes

Trailer brakes of adequate size are
required on trailers of more than
450 kilograms loaded weight.
Because your vehicle has antilock
brakes, do not tap into the
vehicle's hydraulic brake system.
Otherwise, both systems may not
work well. You could even lose
your brakes.
Read and follow all instructions
that come with the trailer brakes.

Trailer Turn Signals

NOTICE
Making very sharp turns while
trailering could cause the trailer
to come into contact with your
vehicle. To avoid vehicle
damage, do not make very
sharp turns while trailering.
When towing a trailer, the arrows
on your instrument cluster will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. You may
think drivers behind you are seeing
your signal, when actually they are
not. It is important that you check
occasionally to be sure that the
trailer bulbs are still working.

Parking on Hills

CAUTION
When towing a trailer, avoid
parking your vehicle on a hill. If
something were to go wrong,
your rig could start to move.
People could be injured and
both your vehicle and the trailer
could be damaged.
