THE
SAFETY
CHAIN
There are different safety chain requirements
by
the various States.
As
delivered
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
nor
drag on
the ground.
