2-5. Driving information Connecting trailer lights Use the wire harness stored in the rear end underbody. 2 When driving Trailer towing tips Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to avoid accident or, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind when towing: l Before starting out, check the trailer lights and the vehicle-trailer connections. Recheck after driving a short distance. l Practice turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer attached in an area away from traffic until you become accustomed to the feel of the vehicle. l Reversing with a trailer attached is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to right. (This is generally opposite to reversing without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an accident. 239
