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.

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 transaxle overheating.

If you have overdrive, you may want to drive in

THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).

Parking on Hills

CAUTION:

You really should not park your vehicle, with a

trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes

wrong, your rig could start to move. People can

be injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer

can be damaged.

But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill,

here’s how to do it:

1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into

PARK (P) yet.

2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.

3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the

regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load.

4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking

brake, and then shift to PARK (P).

5. Release the regular brakes.
