Dodge Charger: Towing Requirements / Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer. This could cause inad- equate braking
and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing
a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped
with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller
is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required
for trailers in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake lines.
It can over- load your brake system and cause it to fail. You might not have brakes
when you need them and could have an accident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stop- ping distance. When towing,
you should allow for additional space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you. Failure to do so could result in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg) loaded, it should have
its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could
lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping
distances.
Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing while using a full size
spare tire...
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stoplights and turn
signals on the trailer are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and seven-pin wiring harness...
