Always place wheel blocks under both
the vehicle and trailer wheels when
parking. Apply the parking brake firmly.
Put the transmission in "P" (automatic)
or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid
parking on a slope with a trailer, but
if it cannot be avoided, do so only
after performing the following:
1. Apply the brakes and hold.
2. Have someone place wheel blocks un-
der both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel blocks are in place,
release your brakes slowly until the
blocks absorb the load.
4. Apply the parking brake firmly.
5. Shift into first or reverse (manual) or
"P" (automatic) and turn off the engine.

When restarting out after parking on a
slope:
1. With the transmission in "P" position
(automatic) or the clutch pedal de-
pressed
(manual),
start
the engine.
(With an automatic transmission, be
sure to keep the brake pedal de-
pressed.)
2. Shift into gear.
3. Release the parking brake (also foot
brake on automatic transmission ve-
hicles) and slowly pull or back away
from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply
your brakes.
4. Have someone retrieve the blocks.
CAUTION
"
Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or
the
posted
towing
speed
whichever is lower. Because insta-
bility (swaying) of a towing vehicle-
trailer
combination
usually
creases as the speed increases, ex-
ceeding 72 km/h
(45
mph)
cause loss of control.
"
Slow down and downshift before
descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden down-
shifts.
"
Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to overheat
and result in reduced braking effi-
ciency.
