The Safety Chain

There are different safety chain requirements determined by the various state laws. Your
vehicle is equipped with chains to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross
trailer weight. Always have the safety chains attached when towing. Install them as
shown below so they do not restrict sharp turns, but tight enough so they do not drag on
the ground.
