Starting off with a trailer on hills
Depending on how steep the hill is and the combined towing weight, a parked vehicle with trailer can
roll backwards when you first start moving.

x Depress and hold the brake pedal and depress and hold the clutch (manual transmission).
x Shift into first gear or DriveD , Shifting.
x Unlock the parking brake and gently release it while holding the unlock button. At the same time,
release the brake pedal and gradually depress the accelerator and, for a manual transmission, let out
the clutch until you can feel the car moving forward. If applicable, follow the instructions for the Hill
Hold feature , Starting assistance systems.
x Do not release the parking brake lever until the engine starts to move the vehicle forward. youIf r
vehicle has an automatic transmission, you can also depress and hold the brake pedal for added
braking and then let up on the brake pedal when you feel that the vehicle “wants” to move forward.

handles and increases the distance it needs to stop safely.

if you were not towing a trailer.
x Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and the weight distributio inn the
vehicle. Take road, weather, traffic, and visibility conditions into account as well.

unfavorable load, weather, or wind conditions.

hard braking.
