Keep these in mind when towing. ● Before starting out, check the trailer’s light and the vehicle-trailer connections.
Page 196 2-5. Driving information ● Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making a larger than normal turning radius. ● Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway.
Page 197 2-5. Driving information ● Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in P (automatic transmission) or in 1 or R (manual transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following: Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
Page 198 2-5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid an accident ■ Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or posted towing speed limit, whichever ● is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combination increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause loss of control.
