2344-1. Before driving
GS350_250_OM_OM30E16E_(EE)
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer. Avoid sudden braking that may cause
skidding. Otherwise, the vehicle may spin out of control. This is espe-
cially true when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel closer to the inside of the curve than
the wheels of the vehicle. To make allowance for this, take the turns
wider than you would normally do.
■Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by pass-
ing buses or large trucks. Frequent ly check behind when moving along-
side such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate smoot hly by slowly applying the brakes.
Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
when driving on a long steep downgrade, do not use the transmission in
D. If in the M mode, the transmission shift range position must be in 4 or
lower. ( →P. 2 4 8 )
