CAUTION
Parking on hills
WARNING - Parking  brake
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.
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.
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.
If the  needle  of the  coolant tem-
perature gauge moves across the
dial  towards   “130”   (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.
