Allow more room for stopping
with a trailer attached.
Practice turning, stopping and
backing in an area before
starting on a trip to get the feel
of the vehicle/trailer
combination.
When turning, drive slightly
beyond the normal turning point
so the trailer wheels will clear
curbs and other obstacles.
When stopped in traffic for long
periods of time in hot weather,
place the automatic transmission
gearshift in P (Park) to increase
idle speed. This aids engine
cooling and air conditioner
efficiency.
Vehicles with trailers should not
be parked on a grade. If you
must park on a grade, place
wheel chocks under the trailer’s
wheels.
After you have travelled about
80 km (50 miles), thoroughly
check your hitch, electrical
connections and trailer wheel
lug nuts.
Launching or retrieving a boat
When backing down a ramp during
boat launching or retrieval,
Do not allow the static water
level to rise above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper and
Do not allow waves to break
higher than 15 cm (six inches)
above the bottom edge of the
rear bumper.
