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
I _
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 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.
1urn 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.
213
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.
