Driving and Operating

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.

Leaving After Parking on a Hill

1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.

.

Start the engine.

.

Shift into a gear.

.

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.

Launching and Retrieving a Boat

Backing the Trailer into the Water

{

Warning

.

Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle before backing onto the sloped
part of the ramp. Lower the driver and
passenger side windows before
backing onto the ramp. This will
provide a means of escape in the
unlikely event the vehicle slides into
the water.

.

If the boat launch surface is slippery,
have the driver remain in the vehicle
with the brake pedal applied while the
boat is being launched. The boat
launch can be especially slippery at
low tide when part of the ramp was
previously submerged at high tide. Do
not back onto the ramp to launch the
boat if you are not sure the vehicle
can maintain traction.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

.

Do not move the vehicle if someone is
in the path of the trailer. Some parts
of the trailer might be underwater and
not visible to people who are assisting
in launching the boat.

Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before
backing the trailer into the water to prevent
damage to the electrical circuits on the
trailer. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after removing the trailer from the water.
If the trailer has electric brakes that can
function when the trailer is submerged, it
might help to leave the electrical trailer
connector attached to maintain trailer brake
functionality while on the boat ramp.

To back the trailer into the water:

1. If equipped, place the vehicle in

four-wheel-drive high.

2. Slowly back down the boat ramp until

the boat is floating, but no further than
necessary.

3. Press and hold the brake pedal, but do

not shift into P (Park) yet.

4. Have someone place chocks under the

front wheels of the vehicle.
