When towing a trailer, the arrows on your

instrument panel will ﬂash for turns even if the

bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you

may think drivers behind you are seeing

your signal when they are not. It’s important to

check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs

are still working.

Driving On Grades

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before

you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you

do not shift down, you might have to use your

brakes so much that they would get hot and

no longer work well.

If you are towing a trailer that weighs more than

1,000 lbs (450 kg), drive in INTERMEDIATE (I)

instead of DRIVE (D) or, as you need to, a lower

gear. This will minimize heat build-up and extend

the life of your transaxle.

Parking on Hills

{CAUTION:

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,

do the following:

1. Apply your regular brakes, but do not shift

into PARK (P) yet.

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).

5. Release the regular brakes.
