Trailer Hitch
Never unlock the hitch ball neck while
towing or with an accessory attached.
If the warning buzzer does not stop,
do not use the hitch and have it
checked and serviced to ensure it is
safe to use.
Always use the correct hitch
equipment for your vehicle.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and
rough roads can affect the trailer and
the hitch.
Proper hitch equipment for your
vehicle helps maintain control of the
vehicle-trailer combination. Many
trailers can be towed using a
weight-carrying hitch which has a
coupler latched to the hitch ball, or a
tow eye latched to a pintle hook.
Other trailers may require a
weight-distributing hitch that uses
spring bars to distribute the trailer
tongue weight between your vehicle
and trailer axles. See “Maximum
Trailer Tongue Weight” under Trailer
Towing 0 277 for weight limits with
various hitch types.
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.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not
attach to the bumper.
To use the factory installed hitch:
1. Remove the hitch cover. See “Hitch
Cover” above.
2. Pull the handle to unlock the ball
neck from the stowed position. The
ball neck will partially pivot down.
