C190F01A-GAT Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and safety chainconnections as well as proper operation of the trailer running lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (Less than 100 km/H).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance, do not usefifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting.When being passed by a large vehicle, keepa constant speed and steer straight ahead. Ifthere is too much wind buffeting, slow down toget out of the other vehicle's air turbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especially on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and put thetransmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tires.
