Driving your vehicle
Ready to leave after parking on a
hill
1. With the shift lever to P (Park, for
Automatic transmission/Dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
Manual transmission vehicle), apply
your brakes and hold the brake pedal
down whilst you:

V Start your engine;

V Shift into gear; and

V Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil,
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important item to frequently
check. If you’re trailering, it’s a good
idea to review these items before
you start your trip. Don’t forget to
also maintain your trailer and towbar.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it
periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all towbar nuts and
bolts should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:

V Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving. If
the coolant gauge indicates over-
heating, switch off the air conditioner
and stop the vehicle in a safe area to
cool down the engine.

V When towing check Automatic
transmission/Dual clutch
transmission fluid more frequently.

V If your vehicle is not equipped with
an air conditioner, you should install
a condenser fan to improve engine
performance when towing a trailer.

vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance from
the rearmost object, and if necessary,
steer the vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.

another vehicle, we recommend that
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
turned off due to safety reasons.
