Chevrolet Silverado: Trailer Towing / Parking on Hills
Warning
To prevent serious injury or death, always park your vehicle and trailer
on a level surface when possible.
When parking your vehicle and your trailer on a hill:
- Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park) yet. Turn the wheels
into the curb if facing downhill or into traffic if facing uphill.
- Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
- Gradually release the brake pedal to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer.
- Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift into P (Park).
- Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill
- Apply and hold the brake pedal.
- Start the engine.
- Shift into a gear.
- Release the parking brake.
- Let up on the brake pedal.
- Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
- Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Warning
You can lose control when towing a trailer if the correct equipment is
not used or the vehicle is not driven properly. For example, if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are inadequate for the load, the vehicle may not stop
as expected...
