Driving tips
8-36
B Driving with a trailer
D You should allow for considerably more stopping
distance when towing a trailer. Avoid sudden brak-
ing because it may result in skidding or jackknifing
and loss of control.
D Avoid abrupt starts and sudden accelerations. If
your vehicle has a manual transmission, always start
out in first gear and release the clutch at moderate
engine revolution.
D Avoid uneven steering, sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.
D Slow down before turning. Make a longer than
normal turning radius because the trailer wheels will
be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the
turn. In a tight turn, the trailer could hit your vehicle.
D Crosswinds will adversely affect the handling of
your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Crosswinds
can be due to weather conditions or the passing of
large trucks or buses. If swaying occurs, firmly grip
the steering wheel and slow down immediately but
gradually.
D When passing other vehicles, considerable dis-
tance is required because of the added weight and
length caused by attaching the trailer to your
vehicle.
D Backing up with a trailer is difficult and takes
practice. When backing up with a trailer, never
accelerate or steer rapidly. When turning back, grip
the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand and
turn it to the left for a left turn, and turn it to the right
for a right turn.
