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:

Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into

“P”

(Park) yet.

Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.

When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until the

chocks absorb the load.

Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking brake, and shift to

Release the regular brakes.

“P”

(Park).

When

You

Are Ready to Leave After Parking on

Hill

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

Start your engine;

Shift into a gear; and

Release the parking brake.

Let up on the brake pedal.

Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.

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. Thin.gs that are especially

important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t

overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt, cooling system, and brake

adjustment. Each of these

covered

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

see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

Trailer Light Wiring

See “Trailer Wiring Harness” in the Index.
