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) 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 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).

5. Release the regular brakes.
