Operation Driving instructions If the engine coolant rises to an extremely high temperature (coolant temperature needle approaching the red zone) when the air conditioning is on, turn off the air conditioning system. Engine coolant heat can be additionally vented by opening the windows, switching the climate control fan speed to high and setting the temperature control to the maximum hot position. Extreme care must be exercised since your vehicle with a trailer will require additional passing distance ahead than when driving without a trailer. Because your vehicle and trailer is longer than your vehicle alone, you will also need to go much farther ahead of the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Parking Warning! Passenger compartment G Warning! G To reduce the risk of personal injury, or damage to the vehicle powertrain, as a result of vehicle/trailer movement, always: Keep right foot on brake pedal. Shift gear selector lever to position N. Have a second person place wheel chocks on downhill side of left and right trailer wheels. Slowly release brake pedal and let vehicle and trailer roll into chocks until stopped. Firmly depress parking brake pedal. Move gear selector lever to position P. When parked on an incline, turn front wheel towards the road curb. Always fasten items being carried as securely as possible. In an accident, during hard braking or sudden maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle, and cause injury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle. The trunk is the preferred place to carry objects. Always use partition net when transporting cargo. Partition net cannot secure hard or heavy objects. 196
