Trailer Towing Connector (Vehicles with a Trailer Towing Package and 7–Pin Connector)

ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS Follow these guidelines for safe towing: • Do not tow a trailer until you drive your vehicle at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km). • Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer. • See any instructions that come with towing accessories for the proper installation and adjustment specifications. • Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 552). • If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions the rental agency gives you. You can find information on load specification terms found on the tire label and Safety Compliance label as well as instructions on calculating your vehicle's load in the Load Carrying chapter. See Load Limit (page 293). Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of your vehicle load when calculating the total vehicle weight.

Trailer Hitch Cover Your vehicle is equipped with a removable trailer hitch cover. • To remove, pull the trailer hitch cover towards the rear of the vehicle. • To install, align the trailer hitch cover with the bumper trim and push the cover towards the front of the vehicle until it snaps into place.

When attaching the trailer wiring connector to your vehicle, only use a proper fitting connector that works with the vehicle and trailer functions. Some seven-position connectors may have the SAE J2863 logo, which confirms that it is the proper wiring connector and works correctly with your vehicle.
