Parking tips
When parking your vehicle, always perform the following items.
● Apply the parking brake firmly.
● For MT models, put the shift lever in the “1” (1st) for upgrade or “R” (Reverse) for a downgrade.
● For CVT models, put the select lever in the “P” (Park) position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of the transmission alone to hold the vehicle.
When parking on a hill, always turn the steering wheel. When the vehicle is headed up the hill, the front wheels should be turned away from the curb.
When facing downhill, the front wheels should be turned into the curb.
WARNING
● Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on
hot or sunny days, the temperature
in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people.
● Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily if they come near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
● Be sure to stop the engine if you take a nap in the vehicle. If engine exhaust gas enters the passenger compartment, occupants in the vehicle could die from carbon monoxide (CO) contained in the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
If your vehicle has a front underspoiler
and rear underspoiler (both
optional), pay attention to blocks and other obstructions on the
ground when parking. The underspoilers
could be damaged by contact
with them.
