Making Turns NOTICE: Making verysharp turns while trailering could cause thetrailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. 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. 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 Oefbve 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 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. If you are towing a trailer that weighs more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg), you may prefer to drive in THIRD (3) instead of DRIVE (D) (or, as you need to, a lower gear). Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal flasher and extra wiring. Thegreen 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. 4-33
