Driving and Operating

257

If the engine is turned off
immediately after towing at high
altitude on steep uphill grades, the
vehicle could show signs similar to
engine overheating. To avoid this,
let the engine run, preferably on
level ground, with the transmission
in P (Park) for a few minutes before
turning the engine off. If the
overheat warning comes on, see

Parking on Hills

{

Warning

To prevent serious injury or death,
always park your vehicle and
trailer on a level surface when
possible.

When parking your vehicle and your
trailer 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, gradually release the
brake pedal to allow the chocks
to absorb the load of the trailer.

4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then

apply the parking brake and
shift into P (Park).

5. Release the brake pedal.

pedal.

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.

automatic transmission fluid, engine
oil, axle lubricant, belts, cooling

bolts on the trailer hitch are tight.

overheat during severe operating
conditions. See
