Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down
while you:

Shift into a gear; and
Release the parking brake.
Let up on the brake pedal.
Drive slowly until the trailer
is

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.
