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.
