Making Turns Driving On Grades
Notice:
Making very sharp turns while trailering
could cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid
making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns
than normal. Do this
so
your trailer won’t strike
soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in
advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to
have extra
wiring and a heavy-duty turn signal flasher (included
in the optional trailering package).
The arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever
you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps will also flash, telling other drivers
you’re about
to
turn, change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the arrows on your instrument
panel will flash for turns even
if
the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers behind
you are seeing your signal when they are not.
It’s
important
to
check occasionally
to
be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working.
Reduce speed and shift
to
a lower gear before you starr
down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have
to
use your brakes
so
much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
When towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades,
consider the following: Engine coolant will boil at a lower
temperature than at normal altitudes. If you turn your
engine
off immediately after towing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades, your vehicle may show signs
similar
to
engine overheating.
To
avoid this, let the
engine run while parked (preferably on level ground)
with the automatic transmission in
PARK
(P)
for a
few minutes before turning the engine
off. If you do get
the overheat warning, see Engine Overheating
on
page
5-28.
