2-5. Driving information CAUTION n When towing a trailer l If the total trailer weight exceeds 1000 lb. (450 kg), trailer brakes are required. l Never tap into your vehicle's hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehicle's braking effectiveness. l Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering into another lane. 2 When driving NOTICE n When installing a trailer hitch l Use only the position recommended by your Lexus dealer. Do not install the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage. l Do not use axle-mounted hitches, as they can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires. n Brakes Lexus recommends trailers with brakes that conform to all applicable federal and state/provincial regulations. n Safety chain A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in the case that it becomes damaged or separated. For the correct safety chain installation procedure, ask your Lexus dealer. n Do not directly splice trailer lights Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle's electrical system and cause a malfunction. 167
