vehicle’s handling and performance,
so driving with a trailer requires
some special driving skills and
techniques.

The lights and brakes on your
vehicle and the trailer are working
properly.

Your vehicle tires and spare are
properly inflated, and the trailer
tires and spare are inflated as
recommended by the trailer
maker.

When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:

The vehicle has been properly
serviced, and the suspension and
the cooling system are in good
operating condition.

The trailer has been properly
serviced and is in good condition.

All weights and loads are within
limits.

The hitch, safety chains, and any
other attachments are secure.

All items in or on the trailer are
properly secured and cannot shift
while you drive.

For your safety and the safety of
others, take time to practice driving
maneuvers before heading for the
open road, and follow the guidelines
in this section.
