D
P
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. Raising the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs more room when you enter
and exit your vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you to
tilt
the wheel. Adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable
position and then release the lever to lock the wheel
in place.
Turn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the
turn is complete.
This arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction
of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until
the arrow
starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it
there until the lane change is
complete. The lever returns
when it’s released.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling
for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a front burned-out signal
bulb (this does not occur with a rear burned-out bulb).
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal. Replace
burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the arrow fails to
work when signaling a turn.

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, 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.
1
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.
lbrn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need a
different turn signal flasher and/or extra wiring. Check
with your Catera dealer. The green arrows
on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up, the trailer lamps
will
also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer,
the green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers
behind you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally
to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start
down a long
or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your brakes
so much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your
speed to around
45 mph (70 km/h) or less to reduce the
possibility of engine and transmission overheating.
