Making 'hrns NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. 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. Signal well in advance. 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 thinkdrivers 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 wouldget hot andno longer work well. On along uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transmission overheating. Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer When youtow 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 lamps will also flash, telling other drivers you're about to turn, change lanes or stop. If you are towing a trailer and you have an automatic transmission with Overdrive, you may prefer to drive in DRIVE (D) instead of Overdrive (or, as you need to, a lower gear). Or, if youhave a manual transmission with FIFTH or SIXTH gear. It isbetter not touse FIFTH or SIXTH gear. Just drive in FOURTH gear (FIFTH gear if you have a six-speed manual transmission) (or, as you need to, a lower gear). 4-36 Parking on Hills You really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes wrong, your rig could start to move. People can be injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged. But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here's how to do it: 1. Apply your regular brakes, but don't shift into PARK (P) yet, or into gear for manual a transmission. 2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels. When You Are Ready to Leave After Parking on aHill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: 0 Start your engine; Shift into a gear; and Release the parking brake. 0 0 2. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks. 3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes.
