Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as
you
would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This
can help
you
avoid situations that require heavy braking
and sudden turns.
Passing
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
go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before
you
can return
to
your lane.
Backing
Up
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 slowlv and.
if
possible,
have
someone guide you.
Making Turns
NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could
cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. 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. Avoid jerky or
sudden maneuvers. Signal well
in
advance.
