Parking on hills
CAUTION
WARNING - Parking  brake
It  can be  dangerous  to  get out  of
your vehicle  if the parking  brake is
not firmly set.
If you have  left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly.You
or  others   could   be  seriously   or
fatally injured.
Generally, you should not park your vehi-
cle,  with  a   trailer  attached,  on   a  hill.
People can be seriously or fatally injured,
and both your vehicle  and the trailer can
be damaged if they  begin a downhill tra-
jectory.
When  towing  a  trailer  on  steep
grades   (in  excess   of   6%)  pay
close   attention   to   the   engine
coolant   temperature    gauge   to
ensure the engine  does not over-
heat. If  the needle  of the coolant
temperature gauge moves across
the  dial  towards “H”  (HOT),  pull
over and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so,  and allow the engine  to
idle until  it cools  down. You may
proceed   once   the   engine   has
cooled sufficiently.
WARNING - Parking  on a
hill
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause serious
injury  or  death,  should  the  trailer
break lose.

store the chocks.

overheating.

trailer on a hill, here’s how to  do it:
