damaged steering or suspension systems.
 Inflate tires of towed vehicle to the maximum pressure recommended by tire
manufacturer.
 Towing mirrors on both sides of towing vehicle add to safety by increasing rear
visibility and are required by state laws.
 Allow more time for accelerating stopping and maneuvering slow down well in
advance of sharp curves, obstacles, or lane changes, and before starting down hills.
 If vehicle combination sways or seems unstable, gradually slow down, pull off the
road to a safe location, and inspect all connections. Instability increases with speed,
and you may have to tow at a lower speed. Discontinue towing if instability persists, a
combination that instable and easy to control at low speed may be unstable at a
higher speed. Stability decreases when going downhill, Start downhill slowly and
maintain a low speed.
 Do not make sharp turns from a complete stop.
 Reduce speeds on rough roads.
