When
towing
at
high
altitude
on
steep
uphill
grades,
consider
the
following:
Engine
coolant
will
boil
at
a
lower
temperature
than
at
normal
altitudes.
If
you
turn
your
engineoff
immediately
after
towing
at
high
altitude
on
steep
uphill
grades,
your
vehicle
may
show
signs
similar
to
engine
overheating.
To avoid
this,
let
the
engine
run
while
parked
(preferably
on
level
ground)
with
the
automatic
transmission
in
PARK
(P)
(or
the
manual
transmission
out
of gear and
the
parking
brake
applied)
for
a
few
minutes
before
turning
the
engine
off.
If
you
do get
the
overheat
warning, see “Engine
Overheating”
in
the
Index.
Parking
on
Hills
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)
yet,
or into
gear for a
manual
transmission.
Then
turn
your
wheels
into
the
curb
if
facing
downhillor into
traffic
if
facing
uphill.
2.
Have
someone
place
chocks
under
the
trailer
wheels.
3.
When
the
wheel
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
then
shift into PARK (P),
or
REVERSE
(R)
for a
manual
transmission.
5.
If
you
have
a
four-wheel-drive
vehicle
with
a
manual
transfer case
shift
lever,
be
sure
the
transfer
case
is
in
a
drive
gear
-
not
in
NEUTRAL
(N).
6.
Release
the
parking
brake.
