Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer

When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need additional

wiring. Check with your dealer. 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.

Driving On Grades

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start

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.

On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your

speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the

possibility of engine and transaxle overheating.

If you have overdrive, you may want to drive in

THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).

Parking on Hills

{CAUTION:

You really should not park your vehicle, with a

trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes

wrong, your rig could start to move. People

can be injured, and both your vehicle and the

trailer can be damaged.

But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s

how to do it:

1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into

PARK (P) yet.

2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer

wheels.

3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the

regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load.

4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your

parking brake, and then shift to PARK (P).

5. Release the regular brakes.
