Driving with a Trailer
{
CAUTION:
If you have a rear-most window open and
you pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon
monoxide (CO) could come into your
vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness or death. See
Engine Exhaust on page 113
. To maximize
your safety when towing a trailer:
•
Have your exhaust system inspected
for leaks, and make necessary repairs
before starting on your trip.
•
Keep the rear-most windows closed.
•
If exhaust does come into your vehicle
through a window in the rear or another
opening, drive with your front, main
heating or cooling system on and with
the fan on any speed.This will bring
fresh, outside air into your vehicle.
CAUTION:

CAUTION:
(Continued)
Do not use the climate control setting for
maximum air because it only recirculates
the air inside your vehicle. See
Dual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 160
.
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 handling and braking with the added
weight of the trailer. And always keep in mind that
the vehicle you are driving is now a good deal
longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle
is by itself.
Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts 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 controller
by hand to be sure the brakes are working.
This lets you check your electrical connection at
the same time.
