Chevrolet HHR Owner Manual - 2011

Do not exceed the maximum allowable tongue weight

for the vehicle. Choose the shortest hitch extension that

will position the hitch ball closest to the vehicle. This will

help reduce the effect of trailer tongue weight on the

rear axle.

After loading the trailer, weigh the trailer and then the

tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper.

If they are not, adjustments might be made by moving

some items around in the trailer.

Trailering may be limited by the vehicle's ability to carry

tongue weight. Tongue weight cannot cause the vehicle

to exceed the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) or

the RGAWR (Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating). The

effect of additional weight may reduce the trailering

capacity more than the total of the additional weight.

It is important that the vehicle does not exceed any

of its ratings — GCWR, GVWR, RGAWR, Maximum

Trailer Rating or Tongue Weight. The only way to be

sure it is not exceeding any of these ratings is to weigh

the vehicle and trailer.

Total Weight on the Vehicle's Tires

Be sure the vehicle's tires are inflated to the upper

limit for cold tires. These numbers can be found on the

Tire-Loading Information label. See Loading the Vehicle

on page 5‑23

. Make sure not to go over the GVW limit

for the vehicle, or the GAWR, including the weight of the

trailer tongue.

Hitches

It is important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are

a few reasons why the right hitch is needed.

The rear bumper on the vehicle is not intended

for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or

other bumper-type hitches to it. Use only a

frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the

bumper.

Will there be any holes in the body of the vehicle

after installing a trailer hitch? If there are, then

be sure to seal the holes later when the hitch is

removed. If the holes are not sealed, deadly

carbon monoxide (CO) from exhaust can get into

the vehicle. See Engine Exhaust

on page 3‑37

Dirt and water can also enter the vehicle.

Safety Chains

Always attach chains between the vehicle and the

trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the

trailer to help prevent the tongue from contacting the

road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Always

leave just enough slack so the rig can turn. Never allow

safety chains to drag on the ground.
