Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15
6
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 gomuch farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. 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 sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the engine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating: When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes. If you turn your engine off immediately aftertowing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground) with the automatic transaxle in the “P”turning the engine off.
 If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-70, 5-78.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hilly conditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow- ing a trailer.
Overheating Cause of overheating
Solution
Air conditioning on Turn off Highway speeds Reduce speed Going up hills Select lower gear posi-
tion
Stop-and-go city traf- fic
With the vehicle stopped, shift to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and idle the engine at high idle.
