Trailer Towing
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 70 km/h
(45 mph) to reduce the possibility of
engine and transmission overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the max
-
imum trailer weight without trailer
brakes and you have an automatic
transmission, you should drive in D
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimise heat build

sion.
CAUTION
僅 When towing a trailer on steep grades
(in excess of 6%) pay close attention
to the engine coolant temperature
gauge to ensure the engine does not
overheat.
If the needle of the coolant tempera
-
ture gauge moves across the dial
towards “130/H (HOT)”, pull over and
stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and
allow the engine to idle until it cools
down. You may proceed once the
engine has cooled sufficiently.
僅 You must decide driving speed
depending on trailer weight and uphill
grade to reduce the possibility of
engine and transmission overheating.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill. People can be seriously
or fatally injured, and both your vehicle
and the trailer can be damaged if they
unexpectedly roll down hill.
WARNING
Parking on a hill
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause serious
injury or death, should the trailer break
loose or the brake stops working.
Do not apply the accelerator pedal to
hold the vehicle on an uphill.
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 direc
-
tion of the kerb (left if headed down
hill, left if headed up hill).
2. If the vehicle has an automatic trans
-
mission, 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 park
-
ing brake and shift the vehicle to P
(Park) for automatic transmission.
7. Shut off the vehicle and release the
vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.
