Driving with a trailer
Automatic gearbox, driving with
a trailer
Parking on a hill:
– Apply the parking brake (handbrake).
– Move the gear selector to parking
position P.
Starting on a hill:
– Move the gear selector to driving
position D.
– Release the parking brake (handbrake).
Steep inclines:
• Select an appropriate manual gear
position when climbing steep inclines or
at low speeds. This prevents the gearbox
from changing up and keeps the gearbox
oil cooler.
• Do not use a higher manual gear than the
engine can "handle". It is not always
economical to drive in high gears.
• Avoid driving with a trailer on inclines of
more than 15 %.
WARNING!
Always secure the load. During heavy
braking the load may otherwise shift,
causing personal injury.
