When turning, drive slightly beyond the normal
turning point so the trailer wheels will clear
curbs or other obstructions.
When stopped in traffic for long periods of time
in hot weather, place the gearshift selector lever
in P (PARK) to increase the engine idle speed.
This aids in engine cooling and air conditioner
efficiency. If the engine overheats, move the
function selector knob to VENT to stop the
compressor and increase the engine speed for a
short time.
Do not tow a trailer when using a
temporary spare tire.
Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a
grade. However, if you must park on a grade,
place wheel chocks under the trailer's wheels as
follows:
Apply the brake pedal and hold.
Have another person place the wheel chocks
under the trailer wheels.
With the chocks in place, release the brake
pedal, making sure the chocks are holding.
Apply the parking brake by pressing the
brake pedal down firmly with your right foot
while applying the parking brake with your
right hand.
Shift the gearshift lever into P (Park).
