Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint
yourself
with the feel of Ilandling and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that thc vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsivs as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check thc trailer hitch
and platform (and attachments),
safety chains, electrical connector, lamps, tires
and mirror adjustment. If
the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controlier by hand
to be sure the brakes are
working.
This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
During \Tour trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure, and
that the’lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
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.
Bucking 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 slowly and, if
possible, havc someone guide you.

If the CHECK OIL light on the instrument panel comes on, it means you
need to check your engine oil level right away. For more information, see
“Check
Oil Light” in the Index. You should check your engine oil level
regularly;
this is an added reminder.
It’s a good idea
to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
Turn off the engine and
give
the oil a few
minutes
to drain back
into
the oil pan. If you
don‘t, the
oil dipstick
might
not show the
actual level.

Puli out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it
back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and check thc
level.
