Crosswinds and rough roads adversely affect vehicle trailer handling possibly causing vehicle sway When being passed by larger vehicles be prepared for possible changes in crosswinds that could affect vehicle handling If swaying does occur firmly grip the steering wheel steer straight ahead and immediately but gradually reduce vehicle speed This combination helps to stabilize the vehicle Never increase speed Be careful when passing other vehicles Passing while towing a trailer requires considerably more distance than normal passing Remember the length of the trailer must also pass the other vehicle before you can safely change lanes To maintain engine braking efficiency and electrical charging performance do Trailer towing tips In order to gain skill and an understanding of the vehicle s behavior you should practice turning stopping and backing up in an area which is free from traffic Steering stability and braking performance will be somewhat different than under normal driving conditions Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving Avoid abrupt
