BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS

D
Toyota
recommends
trailers
brakes that conform to any applica-
ble federal and state/provincial regu-
lations.
D
A safety chain must always be used
between the towing vehicle and the
trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the
chain for turns. The chain should
cross under the trailer tongue to
prevent the tongue from dropping to
the ground in case it becomes dam-
aged or separated. For correct safety
chain procedures, follow the hitch or
trailer
manufacturer's
recommenda-
tions.
2007 TUNDRA from Jul. '07 Prod. (OM34463U)
CAUTION
with
D
If the gross trailer weight exceeds
453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are
required.
D
Never tap into your vehicle's hy-
draulic system as it would lower its
braking effectiveness.
D
Never tow a trailer without using a
safety chain securely attached to
both the trailer and the vehicle. If
damage occurs to the coupling unit
or hitch ball, there is danger of the
trailer wandering over into another
lane.
