● Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle's and the trailer's
wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the
transmission in P (automatic transmission) or in 1 or R (manual
transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so
only after performing the following:
1
Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
2
Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle's and
trailer's wheels.
3
When the wheel blocks are in place, release the brakes slowly
until the blocks absorb the load.
4
Apply the parking brake firmly.
5
Shift into P (automatic transmission) or 1 or R (manual transmis-
sion) and turn off the engine.
● When restarting after parking on a slope:
1
With the transmission in P (automatic transmission) or the clutch
pedal (manual transmission) depressed, start the engine. On
vehicles with an automatic transmission, be sure to keep the
brake pedal pressed.
2
Shift into a forward gear. If reversing, shift into R.
3
Release the parking brake (and also the brake pedal on vehicles
with an automatic transmission), and slowly pull or back away
from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes.
4
Have someone retrieve the blocks.
