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. Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before 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 to "D or 3" (Drive) and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. Turn 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 'onyour 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 lanesor stop. When towing atrailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer areburned 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. 179
