Making Turns

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.

this

your trailer won’t strike

soft

shoulders,

curbs, road signs, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or

sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.

nrn Signals When Towing a Trailer

The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash

whenever you signal

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 green 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

lower gear

before

you start

down

long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift

down,

you

might have to use your brakes

much that

they would get hot and no longer work well.

On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your

speed to around

mph

(70

km/h) to reduce the

possibility of engine and transmission overheating.

If you have an automatic transmission you should use

THIRD

(3)

(or, as you need to, a lower gear) when

towing a trailer. Operating your vehicle in THIRD

(3)

when towing a trailer will minimize heat buildup and

extend the life of your transmission.

When towing at high altitude

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”

in the Index.
