Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat
during severe operating conditions. See Engine
Overheating on page 309.
Changing a Tire When Trailer Towing
If you get a flat tire while towing a trailer, be
sure to secure the trailer and disconnect it from
the vehicle before changing the tire.
Trailer Wiring
Additional wire length has been provided for
connecting trailer wiring to your vehicle. A loop of
five wires is located in the storage compartment on
the driver’s side of the cargo area. The wires are
fused in both the underhood and instrument fuse
block. See Instrument Panel Fuse Block on
page 381 and Underhood Fuse Block on page 382.
The wires do not have a connector and should be
wired to the trailer by a qualified electrical
technician. The technician can use the following
information when connecting a trailer wiring
harness to your vehicle.
• Yellow: Left Turn Signal
• Brown: Parking Lamps
• Light Blue: Stop Lamps
• Black: Ground Wire
• Dark Green: Right Turn Signal
When connecting a trailer harness, be sure you
leave it loose enough so the wiring does not bend
or break, but not so loose that it drags on the
ground. Store the harness in the storage
compartment on the driver’s side of the cargo area
when the harness is not in use. Wrap the harness
together and tie it neatly so it will not be damaged.
