Making Turns
I
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 has to have
a
different
turn
signal flasher and extra wiring. The green
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 green 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
h4for-c
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.
