Trailer
towing
tips
Your
vehicle handles differently when tow ing a trailer because of the additional
weight. Safety, performance and economy
will greatly depend on how carefully you
load
your trailer and operate your "rig."
Before
you actually tow your trailer, prac
tice turning, stopping and reversing in an
area
away from
traffic
until
you learn the
feel of your vehicle and trailer
unit.
Reversing
is
difficult
and requires practice.
Steering
while reversing is generally oppo
site of
that
when backing your vehicle with
out a trailer.
Observe
speed limits. In some areas
speeds
for vehicles towing trailers are lower than for regular vehicles.
Maintain a greater distance between your
vehicle
and the one in
front.
You will need more room to stop.
When
passing remember
that
you cannot
accelerate
as fast as you normally would
because
of the added load. Make sure you
have
enough room to
pass.
After passing
allow plenty of room for your trailer before
changing
lanes again.
Avoid
jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
Slow
down in crosswinds and on rougi"
roads.
Be especially carefull when
pas
sing
other vehicles and trucks.
When
parking always block the wheels o: both vehicle and trailer. Do not park
with
a
trailer on a slope. If it cannot be avoided dc
so
only after the following:
• Apply brakes.
• Have someone place wheel blocks
under both vehicle and trailer wheels.
• With wheel blocks in place slowly re
lease
brakes
until
wheel blocks absorb the
load.
• Apply parking brake.
•
Place
transmission in
"P"
for automatic
or in
first
or reverse gear for manual trans
mission.
