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.
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider than normal turns to help prevent the
trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, road
signs, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal
well in advance.
Towing a trailer puts additional burden on the
engine and transaxle, which may cause over-
heating. Following are some suggestions to
reduce overheating:
When towing at high altitudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle fluid will overheat at
a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.
If you turn your engine off immediately after
towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground)
with the automatic transaxle in the “P”
(PARK) position for a few minutes before
turning the engine off.
If the engine coolant temperature indica-
tor flashes on the information screen in
the multi-information display or the
engine power drops suddenly, refer to
“Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
If the warning display or warning
display illuminates, refer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-66.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start
down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t
downshift, prolonged or frequent application
of the brakes can cause reduced braking effi-
ciency and performance.
You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. How-
ever, you may want to shift the selector lever
to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy
loads or hilly conditions.
Always place chocks or blocks under both the
vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be
sure that the parking brake is firmly set and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position. Avoid parking on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only
after performing the following:

Making turns
CAUTION
Making sharp turns while towing a trailer
could cause the trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your vehicle could be dam-
