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

When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may

need additional 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’s important to

check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs

are still working.

Driving On Grades

When towing a trailer on long uphill grades while

the outside temperature is above 85°F (29°C),

reduce your vehicle speed to 45 mph (72 km/h)

to avoid overheating the engine cooling system.

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.

Pay attention to the engine coolant gage.

If the indicator is in the red area, turn off the

air conditioning to reduce engine load. See

Engine Overheating on page 371.
