Driving On Grades

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start

down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift

down, you might have to use your brakes so much that

they would get hot and no longer work well.

On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your

speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the

possibility of engine and transmission overheating.

If you are towing a trailer and you have an automatic

transmission with overdrive, you may prefer to drive in

DRIVE (D) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE ( )

(or, as you need to, a lower gear). Or, if you have a

manual transmission with FIFTH (5) (or SIXTH (6)

gear) and you are towing a trailer, it is better not to

use FIFTH (5) (or SIXTH (6) gear). Just drive in

FOURTH (4) (or FIFTH (5) gear if you have a

six

-speed manual transmission) or, as you need to,

a lower gear.

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, 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 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) or REVERSE (R)

for a manual transmission.

5. Release the regular brakes.
