232 Towing Once the trailer is level or slightly nose down toward the vehicle: • Lock the bar tension adjuster in place. • Check that the trailer tongue securely attaches and locks onto the hitch. • Install safety chains, lighting, and trailer brake controls as required by law or the trailer manufacturer. Weight-distributing Hitch - Vehicles with Automatic Leveling Suspension WARNING: Do not adjust a weight-distributing hitch to any position where the rear bumper of the vehicle is higher than it was before attaching the trailer. Doing so will defeat the function of the weight-distributing hitch, which may cause unpredictable handling, and could result in serious personal injury. Note: If you do not move the loaded vehicle for approximately 12 hours, the leveling system may bleed down to a lower height. This can be especially apparent if you leave a trailer attached to the parked vehicle for long periods. You must drive your vehicle in order to re-level the suspension. When connecting a trailer to a vehicle with automatic leveling suspension using a weight-distributing hitch, always use the following procedure: 1. Load the interior of the vehicle to a weight similar to that which you intend to carry when towing. This includes things such as passenger weight and cargo. 2. Drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) to re-level the suspension. 3. Park your vehicle, without the trailer, on a level surface. 4. Measure the height to the top of your vehicle's front wheel opening on the fender. This is H1. 5. Attach the trailer to your vehicle without the weight-distributing bars connected. 6. Make sure you securely attach and lock the trailer tongue to the hitch. 7. Install safety chains, lighting, and trailer brake controls as required by law or the trailer manufacturer. 8. Drive the vehicle and trailer at 20-25 mph (32-40 km/h) for approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) to re-level the suspension. 9. Park your vehicle and trailer on a level surface. 10. Measure the height to the top of your vehicles front wheel opening on the fender a second time. This is H2. 2014 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, June 2013 USA (fus)

Weight-distributing Hitch – Vehicles with Automatic Leveling

Suspension

WARNING:

Do not adjust a weight-distributing hitch to any

position where the rear bumper of the vehicle is higher than it

was before attaching the trailer. Doing so will defeat the function of the

weight-distributing hitch, which may cause unpredictable handling, and

could result in serious personal injury.

Note:

If you do not move the loaded vehicle for approximately 12 hours,

the leveling system may bleed down to a lower height. This can be

especially apparent if you leave a trailer attached to the parked vehicle

for long periods. You must drive your vehicle in order to re-level the

suspension.

When connecting a trailer to a vehicle with automatic leveling suspension

using a weight-distributing hitch, always use the following procedure:

Load the interior of the vehicle to a weight similar to that which you

intend to carry when towing. This includes things such as passenger

weight and cargo.

Drive the vehicle for approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) to re-level

the suspension.

Park your vehicle, without the trailer, on a level surface.

Measure the height to the top of your vehicle’s front wheel opening

on the fender. This is H1.

Attach the trailer to your vehicle without the weight-distributing bars

connected.

Make sure you securely attach and lock the trailer tongue to the

hitch.

Install safety chains, lighting, and trailer brake controls as required

by law or the trailer manufacturer.

Drive the vehicle and trailer at 20–25 mph (32–40 km/h) for

approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) to re-level the suspension.

Park your vehicle and trailer on a level surface.

10.

Measure the height to the top of your vehicles front wheel opening

on the fender a second time. This is H2.
