Driving your vehicle
Parking on hills
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 trailer can be damaged if unexpect-
edly roll downhill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:
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).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for auto-
matic transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the
vehicle.
4 Place chocks under the trailer wheels
on the down hill side of the wheels.

5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift
to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for
automatic transaxle vehicle) or 1st
gear when the vehicle is parked on a
uphill grade and in R (Reverse) on a
downhill (for manual transaxle vehicle).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the
vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.
WARNING
Do not get out of the vehicle with-
out the parking brake firmly set. If
you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly. You
and others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
Ready to leave after parking on a hill
1. With the shift lever to P (Park, for auto-
matic transaxle vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicle), apply your
brakes and hold the brake pedal down
while you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the brake
pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
