Many states and Canadian provinces
require special outside mirrors when
towing a trailer. Even if they don’t,
you should install special mirrors if
you cannot clearly see behind you, or
if the trailer creates a blind spot.

Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.

Since lighting and wiring vary by
trailer type and brand, you should
have a qualified technician install a
suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper
equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehicle’s electrical
system and affect your vehicle
warranty.

Your vehicle has a trailer lighting
connector located under the right
side tool case in the cargo area.
Refer to the drawing above for the
wiring color code and purpose of
each pin.
