A green  arrow  on  the 
instrument  panel  will 
flash  in  the  direction 
of  the  turn  or lane 
change. 
To signal  a  lane change,  just raise  or lower  the  lever  until  the  green  arrow 
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 change,  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  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  trailer lights, a 
different  turn signal flasher  is used.  With  this flasher  installed,  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  taillights)  meets  all  applicable  federal lighting 
requirements,  certain states and  provinces  may  apply  their own  lighting 
regulations  that may  require  special attention  before  you  operate  these 
lights. 
For  example,  some  jurisdictions may  require  that  you  operate  your  fog 
lamps  only  when  your  lower  beam  headlights  are also 
on, or that  headlights 
be  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  highway  authority  for applicable  lighting regulations.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Following  Distance 
Stay at  least  twice as far  behind  the  vehicle  ahead  as you  would  when 
driving  your vehicle  without  a trailer.  This can  help  you avoid  situations  that 
require  heavy  braking  and  sudden  turns. 
Passing 
You’ll  need  more  passing  distance up ahead  when  you’re  towing  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  to  the left, just  move  that  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  normal. Do this 
so your trailer  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  panel  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  working. 
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  overheating.

Fluid  Leak  Check 
After the  vehicle  has  been  parked  for awhile, inspect the surface  beneath the 
vehicle for water,  oil, fuel  or other fluids.  Water  dripping  from  the  air 
conditioning  system 
is normal. If  you notice  fuel leaks  or fumes,  the causes 
should  be  found and corrected  at once. 
Bulb  Replacement 
Before replacing  any  bulbs,  make  sure  all  lights are off  and  the  vehicle  is 
not  running.
