nOTiCE: If the transmission hunts between gears on inclines, manually shift
to a lower gear. A lower gear and reduction of speed reduces the chances of
engine overloading and/or overheating. When going down a long hill, shift into
a lower gear and use the engines braking effect. Avoid riding the brakes, thus
overheating the vehicle and trailer brakes. If the engine coolant rises to an
extremely high temperature (coolant temperature needle approaching the red
zone) when the air conditioner is on, turn off the air conditioner. 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.
Passing
Extreme care must be exercised when passing another vehicle. A vehicle with
a trailer attached will require additional passing distance ahead then when driv-
ing without a trailer. Because your vehicle and trailer is longer then your vehicle
alone, you will also need to go much further ahead of the passed vehicle before
you can return to your lane.
