Following Distance

Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as

you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer.

This can help you avoid situations that require

heavy braking and sudden turns.

Passing

You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when

you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal

longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the

passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.

Backing Up

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand.

Then, to move the trailer to the left, just 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. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid

making very sharp turns while trailering.

When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns

than normal. Do this so your 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

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.
