If you are towing a trailer
and are parking on any hill,
see "Towing a Trailer" in the Index. That section shows
what to do first
to
keep the trailer from moving.
Shifting Into PARK (P) (Automatic
Transmission Only)
If you have a 3500 HD model, it is recommended that
the propshaft mounted parking brake be burnished as
part of the new vehicle break-in. The parking brake
will work best after it has been burnished following
these instructions.
Make 10 stops, using the parking brake foot pedal, from
20
mph (32 kmh) about
2 1/2
miles (4 km) apart. In
between stops, drive the vehicle at 20 mph (32 km/h).
A
CAUTION:
-
It can be dangerous to get out
of
your vehicle
if
the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P)
with the
parking brake firmly
set.
Your vehicle can roll.
If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You
or
others could be injured.
To
be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're
on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If
you have fourwheel drive and your transfer
case is
in
NEUTRAL
(N), your vehicle will be free to roll,
even if your shift lever is in PARK (P). So, be sure
the transfer case is in a drive gear
--
not in
NEUTRAL (N).
If you're pulling a trailer, see
"Towing a Trailer" in the Index.
