276 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Towing Equipment
Hitches
Always use the correct hitch
equipment for your vehicle.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and
rough roads can affect the trailer and
the hitch.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not
attach to the bumper.
Hitch Cover
To remove the hitch cover,
if equipped:
1. Undo the two fasteners on the
bottom surface by turning them
counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the lower edge of the cover to
about a 45 degree angle.
3. Pull the cover downward to
disengage the upper attachments.
To reinstall the hitch cover:
1. Hold the cover at a 45 degree angle
to the vehicle and push the upper
tabs into the slots in the bumper.
2. Push the bottom of the cover
forward until the holes on the
cover line up with the holes on the
bumper.
3. Snap the hitch cover into place by
pushing the upper corners forward.
4. Reinstall the two fasteners on the
lower surface by turning clockwise.
Consider using mechanical sway
controls with any trailer. Ask a
trailering professional about sway
controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Adjustment
A weight-distributing hitch may be
useful with some trailers.
1. Front of Vehicle
2. Body to Ground Distance
When using a weight-distributing
hitch, measure the front fender height
above the front axle distance (2)
before and after connecting the trailer.
Adjust the spring bars until the front
fender height distance (2) is
approximately halfway between the
first and second measurements.
