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 are turning with a trailer, make wider turns

than normal. Do this so your 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

When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need a different

turn signal ﬂasher and/or extra wiring. Check with your

dealer/retailer. 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 is important to

check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still

working.

Driving on Grades

Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger and

load carrying vehicle. If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will

require more frequent maintenance due to the additional

load. Because of the added load of the trailer, your

vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days, when going

up a long or steep grade with a trailer. If the engine

coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, turn

off the air conditioning to reduce engine load, pull off the

road and stop in a safe spot.

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start

down a long or steep downgrade. If you do not 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 55 mph (88 km/h) to reduce the

possibility of the engine and the transmission

overheating.
