THE
SAFETY
CHAIN
There are different safety chain requirements
by
the various states.
As deIivered
by
your dealer, your vehicle is equipped with chains
to
meet
SAE
standard requirements for maximum gross trailer
weight. Always have the safety chain
(s)
attached when towing.
Install them in a manner so they do not restrict sharp turns of the
tow vehicle-trailer combination, but tight enough so they
do
not
drag
on
the
road.
