Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you
would when driving your vehicle without
a
trailer. This
can help
you
avoid situations that require heavy braking
and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance
up
ahead when
you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal
longer, you’ll need
to
go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before you
can
return to your lane.
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 Thms
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.
