Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 2,000 lbs (900 kg)

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.

Your trailer brake system can tap into the vehicle’s

hydraulic brake system only if:

• The trailer parts can withstand 3,000 psi

(20 650 kPa) of pressure.

• The trailer’s brake system will use less than

0.02 cubic inch (0.3 cc) of ﬂuid from your vehicle’s

master cylinder. Otherwise, both braking systems

won’t work well. You could even lose your brakes.

If everything checks out this far, make the brake tap at

the port on the master cylinder that sends the ﬂuid

to the rear brakes. But don’t use copper tubing for this.

If you do, it will bend and ﬁnally break off. Use steel

brake tubing.

Driving with a Trailer

{CAUTION:

If you have a rear-most window open and you

pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon

monoxide (CO) could come into your vehicle.

You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause

unconsciousness or death. See Engine

Exhaust on page 2-54. To maximize your safety

when towing a trailer:

• Have your exhaust system inspected for

leaks, and make necessary repairs before

starting on your trip.

• Keep the rear-most windows closed.

• If exhaust does come into your vehicle

through a window in the rear or another

opening, drive with your front, main

heating or cooling system on and with the

fan on any speed. This will bring fresh,

outside air into your vehicle. Do not use

the climate control setting for maximum air

because it only recirculates the air inside

your vehicle. See Climate Control System

on page 3-20.
