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.

NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could
cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid
making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you're
turning
w i t h
a trailer, make wider
turns
than
normal, Do this so your trailer won't st&e soft shoulders,
curbs, road signs, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or
sudden maneuvers. Signal well
i n
advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash
whenever you signal a turn or
lane
change.
Properly
hooked up, the trailer lamps 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.
