Since the lighting and wiring can be
different for various brands of

Towing a Trailer
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.
