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

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.

You can tow in DRIVE (D). You may want to shift the

transmission to THIRD (3) or a lower gear, under heavy

loads or hilly conditions.

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 you turn your

engine off immediately after towing at high altitude

on steep uphill grades, your 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 PARK (P) for a

few minutes before turning the engine off. If you do get

the overheat warning, see Engine Overheating on

page 5-26.
