Be sure to shift the selector lever to the "D" position after climbing the slope. D When towing a trailer, in order to maintain efficient engine braking and electrical charging performance, do not use overdrive. CAUTION Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
