If you have to stop while going
uphill, do not hold the car in place
by pressing the accelerator. This
can cause the automatic
transmission to overheat. Use the
parking brake or footbrake.
When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to
follow all the normal precautions.
Turn your front wheels into the
curb, set the parking brake firmly,
and put the transmission in 1 st or
Reverse (manual) or Park
(automatic). In addition, place
wheel chocks at each of the
trailer's tires.
Backing up with a trailer is
difficult and takes practice. Drive
slowly, make small movements
with the steering wheel, and have
someone stand outside to guide
you. Grip the steering wheel on
the bottom (rather than the usual
position near the top). Move your
hand to the left to get the trailer to
move to the left, and right to
move the trailer right.
