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, if you have a trailer attached to
your  vehicle, you  should  not  park  your
vehicle on a hill. People can be seriously
or  fatally injured,  and both  your  vehicle
and the  trailer can be  damaged if unex-
pectedly roll down hill.
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 loose.
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. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the direction
of the  curb (right  if headed  down hill,
left if headed up hill).
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.
2.
If the  vehicle has  a manual  transmis-
sion,  place  the  car  in neutral.  If  the
vehicle has an automatic transmission,
place the car in P (Park).

4.
Set the parking brake  and shut off the
vehicle.
(Continued)
Place chocks  under the trailer  wheels
on the down hill side of the  wheels.
