Driving on Grades

Notice: Do not tow on steep continuous grades

exceeding 6 miles (9.6 km). Extended, higher than

normal engine and transmission temperatures may

result and damage the vehicle. Frequent stops are

very important to allow the engine and transmission

to cool.

When towing under severe conditions such as hot

ambient temperatures or steep grades, the vehicle may

experience more transmission shifting. A COOLING

MODE ON message may also appear in the DIC.

This alerts the driver that the shifting mode is in progress

and is aiding engine cooling. See DIC Warnings and

Messages on page 3-50 DIC Warnings and Messages

for more information.

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before starting

down a long or steep downgrade. If the transmission is

not shifted down, the brakes might have to be used so

much that they would get hot and no longer work well.

Pay attention to the engine coolant gage. If the indicator

is in the red area, turn off the air conditioning to reduce

engine load. See Engine Overheating on page 5-32.

Parking on Hills

{ CAUTION:

Parking the vehicle on a hill with the trailer

attached can be dangerous. If something goes

wrong, the rig could start to move. People can be

injured, and both the vehicle and the trailer can be

damaged. When possible, always park the rig on a

ﬂat surface.

If parking the rig on a hill:

1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park)

yet. Turn the wheels into the curb if facing downhill

or into traffic if facing uphill.

2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer

wheels.

3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the

brake pedal until the chocks absorb the load.

4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking

brake and shift into P (Park).

5. Release the brake pedal.
