You can adjust the height of the shoul‐
der belt anchor to one of the 3 posi‐ tions for maximum comfort and safety.
The height of the adjusting seat belt
should not be too close to your neck.
The shoulder portion should be adjus‐ ted so that it lies across your chest and
midway over your shoulder near the
door and not your neck.
To adjust the height of the seat belt anchor, lower or raise the height ad‐
juster into an appropriate position. To raise the height adjuster, pull it up
(1). To lower it, push it down (3) while pressing the height adjuster button (2).
Release the button to lock the anchor
into position. Try sliding the height ad‐
juster to make sure that it has locked into position.

•Failure to replace seat belts afteran accident could leave you withdamaged seat belts that will notprovide protection in the event ofanother collision leading to person‐al injury or death. Replace yourseat belts after being in an acci‐dent as soon as possible.

To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of
the retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into the buckle (2). There will be an
audible "click" when the tab locks into
the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the proper length only after the lap
belt portion is adjusted manually so
that it fits snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy mo‐
tion, the belt will extend and let you
move around. If there is a sudden stop or impact, however, the belt will lock in‐
to position. It will also lock if you try to
lean forward too quickly.

To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten a 2-point static type belt, in‐
sert the metal tab (1) into the locking buckle (2). There will be an audible

Instructions about safety chains may
be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slack so you can turn
with your trailer. And, never allow safe‐
ty chains drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to your
country’s regulations and that it is properly installed and operating cor‐
rectly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able
to install, adjust and maintain them
properly. • Don’t tap into your vehicle's brake system.
WARNING
nTrailer brakes
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use a trailer with its ownbrakes unless you are absolutelycertain that you have properly setup the brake system. This is not atask for amateurs. Use an experi‐enced, competent trailer shop forthis work.
Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you must get to
know your trailer. Acquaint yourself
with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer.
And always keep in mind that the vehi‐
cle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly so responsive as
your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch
and platform, safety chains, electrical connector(s), lights, tires and mirror
adjustment. If the trailer has electric
brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then apply the trailer brake
controller by hand to be sure the
brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same
time. During your trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure, and that the lights and trailer brakes are
still working.
Following distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when driv‐ ing your vehicle without a trailer. This
can help you avoid situations that re‐
quire heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because of the increased vehicle
length, you’ll need to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trail‐ er to the left, just move your hand to
the left. To move the trailer to the
right, move your hand to the right. Al‐ ways back up slowly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.
