Towing a Trailer
When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to
follow all the normal precautions.
Turn your front wheels into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly,
and put the transmission in 1st or
Reverse (manual) or Park (auto-
matic). In addition, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
Backing up with a trailer is diffi-
cult and takes practice. Drive
slowly, make small movements
with the steering wheel, and have
someone stand outside to guide you.
Grip the steering wheel on the
bottom (rather than the usual posi-
tion near the top). Move your hand
to the left to get the trailer to move
to the left, and right to move the
trailer right.
