Driving your vehicle
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 kerb (left if
headed down hill, right if headed
up hill).
2. If the vehicle has a manual
transaxle, place the car in neutral.
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.
7. Shut off the vehicle and release
the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.
When you are ready to leave after
parking on a hill
1. With the manual transaxle in
Neutral, apply your brakes and
hold the brake pedal down whilst
you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from 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.
