●
Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer
wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the
transmission in P (automatic transmission) or in the 1st or R (man-
ual transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do
so only after performing the following:
Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and
trailer wheels.
When the wheel blocks are in place, release the brakes slowly
until the blocks absorb the load.
Apply the parking brake firmly.
Shift into the 1st or R (manual transmission) or P (automatic
transmission) and turn off the engine.
●
When restarting after parking on a slope:
With the transmission in the P position (automatic transmission)
or the clutch pedal (manual transmission) depressed, start the
engine. On vehicles with automatic transmission, be sure to keep
the brake pedal depressed.
Shift into 3, 2, 1, or the R position (if reversing).
Release the parking brake (also brake pedal on vehicles with
automatic transmission), and slowly pull or back away from the
wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes.
Have someone retrieve the blocks.
WARNING
■
To avoid an accident
●
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
●
Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long
downhill grades.
●
Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too
frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced
braking efficiency.
●
Do not use cruise control (if equipped) when trailer towing.
