Making Turns

Notice: Making very sharp turns while trailering

could cause the trailer to come in contact with

the vehicle. The vehicle could be damaged.

Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering.

When turning with a trailer, make wider turns than

normal. Do this so the trailer will not 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

The arrows on the instrument panel ﬂash whenever

signaling a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up,

the trailer lamps also ﬂash, telling other drivers the

vehicle is turning, changing lanes or stopping.

When towing a trailer, the arrows on the instrument

panel ﬂash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are

burned out. For this reason you may think other

drivers are seeing the signal when they are not. It is

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 starting

down a long or steep downgrade. If the transmission

is not shifted down, the brakes might have to be used so

much that they would get hot and no longer work well.

Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift the transmission

to a lower gear if the transmission shifts too often under

heavy loads and/or hilly conditions.

The tow/haul mode may be used if the transmission

shifts too often. See Tow/Haul Mode Light on page 3-51.

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 the engine is

turned off immediately after towing at high altitude

on steep uphill grades, the 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 P (Park) for a

few minutes before turning the engine off. If the overheat

warning comes on, see Engine Overheating on

page 5-34.
