AKENG44_Escalade Page 281 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 3 Safety Chains Trailer Brakes Trailer Turn Signals You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Always leave just enough slack so you can turn with your rig. And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground. Trailer brakes of adequate size are required on trailers of more than 900 kilograms (2,000 pounds) loaded weight. Read and follow all instructions that come with the trailer brakes. Your vehicle is equipped with the Stabilitrak ® System. Do not tap into the vehicle's hydraulic brake system when installing trailer brakes. CAUTION Do not tap into the vehicle's hydraulic brake system. Otherwise, your vehicle's brake systems may not work well. You could even lose your brakes. You or others could be injured or killed. When towing a trailer, the arrows on your instrument cluster will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. You may think drivers behind you are seeing your signal, when actually they are not. It is important that you check occasionally to be sure that the trailer bulbs are still working. – – – 281 . . .
