Your vehicle has a class 3 trailer hitch as standard equipment. The jumper harness and trailer brake fuse are
stored in the glove box. Open the lid of the socket (located next to the trailer hitch) to expose the 7-pin trailer
connector.
■ Weight distribution hitches:
Your vehicle is designed to tow without the need for a load distributing hitch. If you wish to use one, please
consult your trailer maker for proper installation and set-up. Improper set-up could degrade the handling,
stability, and braking performance of your vehicle.
■ Safety chains:
Always use safety chains when you tow a trailer. Leave enough slack to allow the trailer to turn corners easily,
but do not allow the chains to drag on the ground.
■ Trailer brakes:
Recommended for any trailer with a total weight of 1,000 lbs (450 kg) or more:
There are two common types of trailer brakes: surge and electric. Surge brakes are common for boat trailers,
since the brakes will get wet. If you choose electric brakes, be sure they are electronically actuated. Do not
attempt to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic system, as it will lower braking effectiveness and
create a potential hazard. The 4-pin gray connector installed in your vehicle has all of the circuits required to
install most electric trailer brake controllers.
The 4-pin gray connector is located under the instrument panel near the top of the parking brake pedal.
Remote Start:
Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Hold (start) button. Some exterior lights flash once.

minutes during the first run, press the button, then press and hold the button. (Some exterior lights come back
on three times, twice, if a 10-minute extension request was transmitted successfully)
The engine stops when the shift lever is moved out of (P before the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed.
Follow the step 1 when starting to drive.
