Your Driving

and

the

Road

Driving

with

a

Trailer

(CONT.)

Making Turns

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 has

to have a different turn signal flasher

and extra wiring. The green arrows on

your instrument panel will flash

whenever you signal a turn or lane

change. Properly hooked up, the trailer

lights 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.

Your vehicle has bulb warning .lights.

When you plug trailer lights into your

vehicle’s lighting system, its bulb

warning lights may not let you know if

one

of

your lights goes out.

So,

when

you

have trailer lights plugged in, be

sure to check your vehicle and trailer

lights from time to time to be sure

they’re all working. Once you

disconnect the trailer lights, the bulb

warning lights again can tell you if one

of your vehicle lights

is

out.

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

Wh) to reduce the possibility

of

engine and transaxle overheating.

If you are towing a trailer and you have

an

automatic transaxle with Overdrive,

it’s best to drive in

D

instead of (or,

as you need to, a lower gear). This will

minimize heat build-up and extend the

life of your transaxle.
