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.
