Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
Tongue loads can be adjusted by proper dis-tribution of the load in the trailer. This can bechecked by separately
weighing the loaded
trailer and then the tongue.The GAWRs are printed on the certificationlabel which is riveted on the door sill on thedriver’s side.Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 11-2.Choose a proper hitch and ball, and makesure it is installed at a height that is compati-ble with the trailer.Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformlydistributes the trailer tongue load throughoutthe frame.
A safety chain must al
ways be used between
the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf-ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chainshould cross under the trailer tongue to pre-vent the tongue from dropping to the groundin case it becomes damaged or separated.For correct safety chai
n procedures, consult
your authorized Mitsub
ishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more oftenwhen you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR-RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”. Especially important in traileroperation are automatic transaxle fluid,engine oil, rear axle
oil, belt, c
ooling system
and brake system. Each
of these is covered in
this manual.For details, please refer to the “Vehicle careand maintenance” section.Check periodically to see that all hitch nutsand bolts are tight.Mitsubishi Motors recommends that anytrailer having a total we
ight of 1,250 lbs (567
kg) or more (2400 models), 1,400 lbs (635kg) or more (3000 mode
ls) be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes.If you choose electric br
akes, be sure they are
electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tapinto your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat-ter how successful it
may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’shydraulic system will lower braking effec-tiveness and create a potential hazard.
Gross axle weight rating (GAWR) Trailer hitches
WA R N I N GIf you make any holes in the body of yourvehicle for installing
a trailer hitch, be
sure to seal the holes later when youremove the hitch. If
you don’t seal them,
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from yourexhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to“Exhaust system” on page 9-24.
NOTE
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that swaycontrol be used whenever you are towing, toimprove towing stability.For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTIONNever tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailerand the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.
