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.
