Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your
vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Periodically check the rear to pre-
pare for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause
your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying occurs, firmly grip the
steering wheel, reduce speed immediately but gradually, and steer
straight ahead. Never increase speed. If you make no extreme cor-
rection with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer will stabi-
lize.
●
Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires consider-
able distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of
your trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changing
lanes.
●
To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfor-
mance, when using engine braking, do not use the transmission in
D. If in the S mode, the transmission shift range position must be in
4 or lower. (

●
Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may over-
heat on hot days (at temperatures over 30
°
C [85
°
F]) when driving
up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in
use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.
