Parking
on
Hills
You
really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer
attached, on a hill.
If
something goes wrong, your rig
could start to move. People can be injured, and both
your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But if you ever have to park your rig
on
a hill, here’s
how
to
do
it:
1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into
PARK (P)
yet.
2.
Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3.
When the wheel chocks are in place, release the
regular brakes until
the
chocks absorb the load.
4.
Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking
brake, and then shift
to
PARK
(P).
5.
Release the regular brakes.
When
You
Are
Ready
to
Leave
After
Parking
on
a
Hill
1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down
while you:
Start your engine;
Shift into
a
gear; and
0
Release the parking brake.
2.
Let up on the brake pedal.
3.
Drive slowly
until
the trailer
is
clear
of
the chocks.
4.
Stop and have someone pick
up
and store the chocks.
Maintenance When
Trailer
Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re
pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more
on this. Things that are especially important in trailer
operation are automatic transaxle
fluid
(don’t overfill),
engine oil, belt, cooling system and brake adjustment.
Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will
help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good
idea to review these sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.
