Driving on grades
Parking on hills
If the needle of the coolant tem-
perature 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 pro-
ceed once the engine has cooled
sufficiently.
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
operate efficiently.
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.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 70 km/h (45
mph) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transmission overheating.
WARNING - Parking on a
hill
•
You must decide driving speed
depending on trailer weight and
uphill grade to reduce the possi-
bility of engine and transmission
overheating.
Parking your vehicle on a hill with a
trailer attached could cause seri-
ous injury or death, should the trail-
er break lose.
If your trailer weighs more than the max-
imum trailer weight without trailer brakes
and you have an automatic transmission,
you should drive in D (Drive) when tow-
ing a trailer.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it:
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimize heat build up
and extend the life of your transmission.
CAUTION
Going uphill under hot ambient
temperature (above 35°C) with GVW
and/or trailer, a minimal fuel tank
level of 5 liter has to be assured in
order to prevent power limitation
due to fuel overheating as well as
further damages in the fuel injec-
tion equipment.
1. Apply your brakes, but don’t shift into
gear.
2.
Have someone place chocks under
the trailer wheels.
CAUTION
•
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.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place,
release the brakes until the chocks
absorb the load.
4.
Reapply the brakes. Apply your park-
ing brake, and then shift to R
(Reverse) for a manual transmission or
P (Park) for an automatic transmis-
sion.

5.
Release the brakes.
