At very steep inclines, not manageable with selector
lever in position “1”, switch transfer case to LOW
RANGE, see page 209 for instructions on how to engage
LOW RANGE.
Parking
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, or damage to
the vehicle powertrain, as a result of vehicle/trailer
movement, always:
When going down a long hill, shift into a lower gear and
use the engine’s braking effect. Avoid riding the brakes,
thus overheating the vehicle and trailer brakes.
1.
2.
Keep right foot on brake pedal.
If the engine coolant rises to an extremely high
temperature (coolant temperature needle approaching
the red zone) when the air conditioner is on, turn off the
air conditioner. Engine coolant heat can be additionally
vented by opening the windows, switching the climate
control fan speed to high and setting the temperature
control to the maximum hot position.
Shift gear selector lever to position “N”.
3. Have a second person place wheel chocks on
downhill side of left and right trailer wheels.
4.
Slowly release brake pedal and let vehicle and
trailer roll into chocks until stopped.
5.
6.
7.
Firmly depress parking brake pedal.
Move gear selector lever to position “P”.
Extreme care must be exercised since your vehicle with
a trailer will require additional passing distance ahead
than when driving without a trailer. Because your
vehicle and trailer is longer than your vehicle alone, you
will also need to go much farther ahead of the passed
vehicle before you can return to your lane.
On inclines turn front wheels towards the road
curb.
