Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake, unless it is programmed to be in
automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition...
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces...
