Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
7.  The  vehicle/trailer combination  is
more  affected  by crosswind  and
buffeting.
When being passed by a large ve-
hicle, keep a  constant speed and
steer straight ahead. If there is too
much wind buffeting, slow down to
get  out of  the  other vehicle's  air
turbulence.
11.Avoid  jerky starts,  sudden accel-
eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp  turns and  rapid lane
changes.

ing effect.
When  ascending   a  long  grade,
downshift  the  transmission  to   a
lower  gear and  reduce  speed to
reduce  chances  of  engine  over-
loading and/or overheating.
15.If  you  have  to  stop  while  going
uphill,  do not  hold the  vehicle  in
place by pressing on the accelera-
tor. This can  cause the automatic
transmission to overheat. Use the
parking brake or footbrake.

prevent load shift while driving.
Check the condition  and air pres-
sure of  all tires on  the trailer  and
your  car.  Low  tire  pressure  can
seriously affect the handling. Also
check the spare tire.

If  the  trailer has  electric  brakes,
start your vehicle and  trailer mov-
ing, and then apply the trailer brake
controller by  hand to  be sure the
brakes are working.  This lets you
check your electrical connection at
the same time.

When towing check transaxle fluid
more frequently.

ally  to  be  sure  that  the  load  is
secure,and  that the lightsandany
trailer brakes are still working.
