Towing Information
Driving a vehicle/trailer combination is different
from driving a vehicle alone.
Inspect all connections at each stop.
All tires must be properly inflated. Do not
overinflate the tires. Tire pressures go up during
driving. Checking the tire pressure when the tires
are warm will give you an inaccurate pressure
reading.
Operating Instructions
Increase the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you to twice the normal following
distance when towing a trailer. Allow more following
distance in adverse weather.
Slow down for downgrades and shift your
transmission into a lower gear.
Slow down for curves, hazardous road conditions,
freeway exits, and when driving in adverse weather.
Heavy winds, excessive speed, load shifting or
passing vehicles can cause a trailer to sway while
driving. If this occurs, do not brake, speed up or
turn the steering wheel. Turning the steering wheel
or applying the brakes can cause the vehicle and
trailer to jackknife. Let up on the gas pedal and
keep the steering wheel straight.
If the vehicle and/or trailer travels off the paved
road, hold the steering wheel firmly and let up on
the gas pedal. Do not apply the brakes. Do not turn
sharply. Slow down to under 25 mph / 40 km/h.
Gradually turn the steering wheel to get back on the
road. Proceed with caution when entering traffic.
When passing other vehicles, be sure to leave
enough room for the extra length of the trailer. You
will need to go much farther beyond the passed
vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Avoid sudden movements when turning.
