14. When going down a hill, shift into alower gear and use the engine brak- ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmission to alower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop whilst going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.
HPC200E1-E Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check towbar and
safety cable connections as well as proper operation of the trailer run- ning lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (Less than 60 MPH).
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift whilst driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tyres on the trailer and your car. Low tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling. Also check the spare tyre.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswind andbuffeting.When being passed by a large ve- hicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. If there is toomuch wind buffeting slow down to get out of the other vehicle's air turbulence. 8. When parking your car and trailer,
especially on a hill, be sure to followall the normal precautions. Turn your front wheel into the curb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transmission in 1st or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic). In addition, place wheel chocks at eachof the trailer's tyres.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes,
start your vehicle and trailer mov-ing, and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the same time.
10.During your trip, check occasion- ally to be sure that the load issecure, and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
11.Avoid jerky starts, sudden accel- eration or sudden stops.
12.Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
15
o Be sure that the ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to prevent damage to the steering lock mechanism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels straightwhilst the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or sus-
pension components are damaged,a towing dolly must be used. D080C02HP-EAT Towing A Car With Automatic Transmission Be sure that the transmission is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for morethan 15 miles (25 km). NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the transmission fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a tow-ing dolly must be used.
!
CAUTION:
A car with an automatic transmis- sion should never be towed from thefront with the rear wheels on the ground. This can cause serious dam- age to the transmission. If the carmust be towed from the front, a tow- ing dolly must be used under the rear wheels.

To Check the Transmission Oil Level
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove itwith your fingers. 2. Use your finger to feel inside the
hole. The oil level should be at itsbottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transmission or bring the oillevel up, add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the bolt and washer, screw it in with your fingers and thentighten securely with the wrench.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS- SION LUBRICANT
G110A04HP-EAT Transmission lubricant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedulein Section 5. NOTE: Basically automatic transmission fluid is red color. As driving dis- tance increases, the fluid colorturns darkish red gradually. It is normal condition and you should not use fluid color as a criterionfor replacing the transmission fluid. You must replace the automatic transmission fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenances schedule insection 5. Recommended Lubricant Use only MOBIL DEXRON-II. Dam- age caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle lim-ited warranty.
