Driving with a Trailer

{CAUTION:

If you have a rear-most window open and you

pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon

monoxide (CO) could come into your vehicle.

You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause

unconsciousness or death. See Engine

Exhaust on page 2-36. To maximize your safety

when towing a trailer:

• Have your exhaust system inspected for

leaks, and make necessary repairs before

starting on your trip.

• Keep the rear-most windows closed.

• If exhaust does come into your vehicle

through a window in the rear or another

opening, drive with your front, main

heating or cooling system on and with the

fan on any speed. This will bring fresh,

outside air into your vehicle. Do not use

the climate control setting for maximum air

because it only recirculates the air inside

your vehicle. See Climate Control System

on page 3-21.

Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience.

Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get

to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of

handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer.

And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are

driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as

responsive as your vehicle is by itself.

Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts and

attachments, safety chains, electrical connector, lamps,

tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has electric

brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then

apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure

the brakes are working. This lets you check your

electrical connection at the same time.

During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the

load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer

brakes are still working.
