Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When
you
tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have extra
wiring (included
in
the optional trailering package).
The green 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 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
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 transmission overheating.
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”
in
the Index.
