NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can cause
your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to
replace them, and you could also damage other
parts
of
your vehicle.
If
you are towing
a
trailer and you must park
on
a
hill,
see ”Towing
a
Trailer”
in
the Index. That section shows
what to do first
to
keep
the
trailer
from
moving.
Shifting Into

can move suddenly. You or others could be
injured.
To
be sure your vehicle won’t move, even
when you’re on fairly level ground, use the steps
that follow.
If
you’re pulling a trailer, see
“Towing a Trailer” in the Index.
