*
[DR38200( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not connect a trailer's hydraulic brake
system directly to your vehicle's brake
system. Your vehicle may not have

[DR38400( ALL)11/89]
Make sure your trailer lamps conform to Federal
and local regulations.

stop/turn, and ground).
*
[DR38425(BEF )03/91]
Class I and Class II Trailer Tow electrical wiring
provides two circuits (right hand and left hand)

on the trailer. Never add more than one trailer
light bulb to one circuit.
[DR38429(B F )05/95]

F5TB-13A576-A) has been provided that connects
to the frame wire harness at the rear of the
vehicle and is compatible with most 4-wire
trailer tow electrical systems.
[DR38431(B F )05/95]
Always check trailer and vehicle functions (i.e.,
stop/turn signal, and running lights) before
operating your vehicle and trailer.
[DR38433(B F )05/95]
If your vehicle fails to function properly, do not
operate your vehicle and trailer until corrections

Your vehicle is equipped with a brake fluid level
indicator in the master cylinder which lights the

as you put more mileage on your vehicle and
the brake lining wears.

Check the brake fluid at least once a year. You
can do this by looking at the fluid level in the
plastic reservoir on the master cylinder. The
fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.
