Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear into the P (Park) position, apply
the parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Take the key with you when exiting the
vehicle.
When you stay in the vehicle with the
engine running, be careful not to depress
the accelerator pedal for a long period of
time. The engine or exhaust system may
overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep away from the exhaust
system components.
Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a fire.
Good driving practices
• Never shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to any other position with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
• Never shift the gear into P (Park) when
the vehicle is in motion.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
when driving. Doing so may result in an
accident because of a loss of engine
braking and the transmission could be
damaged.
• Driving uphill or downhill, always shift
to D (Drive) when driving forward or to
R (Reverse) when driving backwards,
and check the gear position indicated
on the cluster before driving. If you
drive in the opposite direction of the
selected gear, the engine turns off and
a serious accident might be occurred
due to the degraded brake
performance.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear and
possibly even brake failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time can trigger
logic for engine power reduction to
assure vehicle deceleration. Vehicle
acceleration resumes after the brake
pedal is released.
• When driving in Manual shift mode,
slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged if the engine RPMs are
outside of the allowable range.
• Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an
abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
