WARNING!

• If you use a trailer brake controller with your

trailer, the trailer brakes may be activated and
deactivated with the brake switch. If so, there may
not be enough brake pressure to hold both the
vehicle and the trailer on a hill when the brake
pedal is released. In order to avoid rolling down
an incline while resuming acceleration, manually
activate the trailer brake or apply more vehicle
brake pressure prior to releasing the brake pedal.

• HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when leaving your vehicle.
Also, be certain to leave an automatic transmission
in “P” (Park) or a manual transmission in “R”
(Reverse) or 1st gear.

• Failure to follow these warnings can result in an

accident or serious personal injury.
