Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green ar\
row
starts to
flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane chi' -- if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned
OUT and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
(If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signa\
l arrows will
flash at a faster rate
if a signal bulb is burned out.)
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the tr\
ailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher instal\
led, the signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out\
. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and tail lights) meet all applicable Federa\
l lighting
requirements, certain states and providences may apply their own\
lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate yo\
ur lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights b\
e turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most\
jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn \
or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your own state or provincial h\
ighway
authority for applicable lighting regulations.

Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you w\
ould when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoi\
d situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re to\
wing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need
to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer left, just move your hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right,
move your hand
to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible, have
someone guide you.
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than n\
ormal. Do this so
your trailer wheels won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road \
signs, trees, or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
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 on your 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 lanes,
or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument pan\
el will flash for
turns even
if the bulbs on the trailer are burned 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 work\
ing.
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 and reduce your speed to \
around
45 mph
(70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transmission ove\
rheating.
If you have an automatic transmission, you should use D when towing a
trailer. Operating your vehicle in
D when towing a trailer will minimize heat
buildup and extend the life of your transmission. Or, if you have a manual
transmission with fifth gear, it’s better not to use fifth \
gear, just drive in fourth
gear (or, as you need
to, a lower gear).
