Making
Turns
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 lights 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
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.
On
a
long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed
to
around
45
mph
(70
kdh) to reduce
the
possibility of engine and transmission overheating.
If you have an automatic transmission,
you
should use
“D”
(or, as you need
to, a lower gear) when towing
a
trailer. Operating your vehicle
in
“D”
when
towing a trailer will minimize heat buildup and extend
the
life of your
transmission.
If
you
have
a
manual transmission and
you
are towing a trailer, it’s better
not
to
use
fifth gear. Just drive in fourth gear (or, as
you
need
to,
a lower
gear).
Parking on Hills
You
really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill.
If
something goes wrong, your rig could start to move. People can be injured,
and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But
if
you
ever have
to
park your
rig
on
a
hill,
here’s how to do
it:
1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into “P’ (Park) yet, or
in
gear
for
a manual transmission.
2.
Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3.
When the wheel chocks are
in
place, release the regular brakes until the
chocks absorb
the
load.
