Backing Up

Hold the bottom of the steering

wheel with one hand. Then, to move

the trailer to the left, move that

hand to the left. To move the trailer

to the right, move your hand to

the right. Always back up slowly

and, if possible, have someone

guide you.

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 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

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 with an automatic

transmission 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. For vehicles with

a manual transmission, it is

better not to use the highest gear.

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.
