Parking on Hills

CAUTION:

You really should not park your vehicle, with a

trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes

wrong, your rig could start to move. People can

be injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer

can be damaged.

But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s

how to do it:

1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into

PARK (P) for an automatic transaxle or into a gear

for a manual transaxle, yet. When parking uphill,

turn your wheels away from the curb. When parking

downhill, turn your wheels into the curb.

2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.

3. When the chocks are in place, release the regular

brakes until the chocks absorb the load.

4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking

brake and shift into PARK (P) for an automatic

transaxle or REVERSE (R) for a manual transaxle.

5. Release the regular brakes.

When You Are Ready to Leave After

while you:

2. Let up on 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.
