Subaru Forester: Trailer towing tips / Parking on a grade
Always block the wheels under both
vehicle and trailer when parking. Apply
the parking brake firmly. You should not

slope cannot be avoided, you should take
the following steps:
- Apply the brakes and hold the pedal
down.
- Have someone place wheel blocks
under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
- When the wheel blocks are in place,
release the regular brakes slowly until the
blocks absorb the load.
- Apply the regular brakes and then
apply the parking brake; slowly release
the regular brakes.
- Shift into “P” position and shut off the
engine.
