Driving your vehicle
Trailer towing (For europe)
Driving on grades
Reduce the speed and shift to a
lower gear before you start down a
long or steep downgrade. If you
don䳓t shift down, you might have to
use your brakes so much that they
would get hot and no longer operate
efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce your speed to around 70
km/h (45 mph) to reduce the possi
-
bility of engine and transmission
overheating.
CAUTION
䳜 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 䳖H (HOT) (or 130 C /
260 F)䳗, 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 suffi
-
ciently.
䳜 You must decide the driving speed
depending on trailer weight and
uphill grade to reduce the possi
-
bility 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. Peo
-
ple can be seriously or fatally
injured, and both your vehicle and
the trailer can be damaged if unex
-
pectedly 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.
However, if you ever have to park
your trailer on a hill, here's 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. Set the parking brake and shut off
the vehicle.
3. Place chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of
the wheels.
4. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes,
shift to neutral, release the park
-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load.
5. Reapply the brakes.
