Driving Safely With a Trailer
For your safety and the safety of
others, take time to practice driving
maneuvers before heading for the
open road, and follow the guidelines
below.
Avoid towing a trailer during your
vehicle's first 600 miles (1,000 km).
Drive slower than normal in all
driving conditions.
Make turns more slowly and wider
than normal. The trailer has a
smaller arc and it can hit or run
over something the vehicle misses.
Allow more time and distance for
braking. Do not brake or turn
suddenly
the trailer could

jackknife or turn over.
