IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

12-24

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

• 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 TOWING TRAILER

Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re tow-

ing a trailer. See the maintenance Schedule for more on

this. Things that are especially important in trailer opera-

tion are engine oil, brake pads & discs, automatic transmis-

sion fluid. Each of these is covered in this manual and the

index will help you find them quickly. If you want to tow a

trailer, 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.

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)

for automatic transmission yet, or into a gear for a manual

transmission.

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) for automatic transmission, or

First or Reverse gear for a manual transmission.

5. Release the regular brakes.
