Load Distribution Hitch
.
The vehicle may have a load
distribution hitch.
.
The load distribution hitch must
be removed when not in use. Do
not leave the hitch assembly in
the receiver unless a trailer is
attached.
.
A load distribution hitch transfers
load to the vehicle's front wheels
aiding steering and brake
performance.
.
Do not exceed the maximum
towing capacities specified. See
“Maximum Towing Capacities”
previously in this section.
.
Do not exceed the total front or
rear axle loads specified. See
“Axle Loads” under Vehicle
Weight 0 276.
Towing Precautions
.
When heavily loading the vehicle
or when towing, inflate tyres to
the maximum recommended
pressure. See Tyre Pressure
0 249.
.
Tighten the tow ball retaining nut
to 140 Nm (Newton metres) and
check the torque frequently.
.
Vehicles handle differently when
towing. Take a couple of short
distance trips with the trailer
before taking a long trip.
.
Have the vehicle and trailer
correctly maintained and
serviced, with particular attention
given to the brakes, tyres,
suspension, wheel bearings,
towing coupling and lighting.
.
Use an extended-arm mirror on
both sides of the vehicle if
necessary.
