2084-1. Before driving
UK AURIS_HV_HB_EE (OM12M49E)
Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious in jury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the oper ation of the connection between
the trailer and lights after driving fo r a brief period as well as before
starting off.
■Practicing driving with a coupled trailer
● Get the feel for turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area with no or light traffic.
● When reversing with a coupled trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to tu rn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen t he risk of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), t he distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwis e, the vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces.
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the section concerned and may result in dam-
age. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attaching a
steel bracket.
