Driving your vehicle
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here is how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking
space. Turn the steering wheel in
the direction of the curb (right if
headed down hill, left if headed up
hill).
2. If the vehicle has a manual
transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, place the car in neutral. If the
vehicle has an automatic transaxle,
place the car in P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off
the vehicle.
4. Place chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of the
wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes,
shift to neutral, release the parking
brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes, reapply the
parking brake and shift the vehicle
to R (Reverse) for manual
transaxle or P (Park) for automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion.
7. Shut off the vehicle and release
the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.

the brake pedal down while you:

brake pedal.
