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) yet, or into gear for a manual transaxle.

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 your regular brakes. Then apply your

parking brake, and then shift to PARK (P), or

REVERSE (R) for a manual transaxle.

5. Release the regular brakes.

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 Trailer Towing

Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re

pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more

on this. Things that are especially important in trailer

operation are automatic transaxle fluid (don’t overfill),

engine oil, drive belt, cooling system and brake system.

Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index

will help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s

a good idea to review this information before you start

your trip.

Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts

are tight.

Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing

Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during

severe operating conditions. See “Engine Overheating”

in the Index.
