Towing Information

Driving a vehicle that is pulling a trailer is

different from driving a vehicle alone. Read the

following instructions carefully.

Use the checklist on the back cover of this manual

before towing and while on the road. Inspect all

connections at each stop.

All tires must be properly inflated. Find the

recommended cold tire pressures on the tire

sidewall or trailer decal. Do not overinflate the tires.

Tire pressures go up during driving. Checking the

tire pressure when the tires are warm will give you

an inaccurate pressure reading.

Increase the distance between your vehicle and the

vehicle in front of you to twice the normal following

distance when towing a trailer. Allow more following

distance in adverse weather.

Slow down for downgrades and shift your

transmission into a lower gear.

Slow down for curves, hazardous road conditions,

freeway exits, and when driving in adverse weather.

When passing other vehicles, be sure to leave

enough room for the extra length of the trailer. You

will need to go much farther beyond the passed

vehicle before you can return to your lane.

When turning with a trailer, avoid jerky or sudden

movements.

Heavy winds, excessive speed, load shifting or

passing vehicles can cause the trailer to sway

while driving. If this occurs, do not brake, speed up

or turn the steering wheel. Turning the steering

wheel or applying the brakes can cause the vehicle

and trailer to jackknife. Let up on the gas pedal and

keep the steering wheel straight.

If the vehicle and/or trailer travels off the paved

road, hold the steering wheel firmly and let up on

the gas pedal. Do not apply the brakes. Do not turn

sharply. Slow down to under 25 mph / 40 km/h.

Gradually turn the steering wheel to get back on the

road. Proceed with caution when entering traffic.
