Subaru Outback (BR): Before starting out on a trip
● Check that the vehicle and vehicle-tohitch mounting are in good condition.
If any problems are apparent, do not tow the trailer.
● Check that the vehicle sits horizontally with the trailer attached. If the
vehicle is tipped sharply up at the front and down at the rear, check the total
trailer weight, GVW, GAWs and tongue load again, then confirm that the load and
its distribution are acceptable.
● Check that the tire pressures are correct.
● Check that the vehicle and trailer are connected properly. Confirm that
– the trailer tongue is connected properly to the hitch ball.
– the trailer lights connector is connected properly and trailer’s brake lights
illuminate when the vehicle’s brake pedal is pressed, and that the trailer’s turn
signal lights flash when the vehicle’s turn signal lever is operated.
– the safety chains are connected properly.
– all cargo in the trailer is secured safety in position.
– the side mirrors provide a good rearward field of view without a significant blind
spot.
● Sufficient time should be taken to learn the “feel” of the vehicle/trailer
combination before starting out on a trip. In an area free of traffic, practice
turning, stopping and backing up.
