7-16 Starting and driving
1. In a manual transmission vehicle, put the gear-
shift lever in the neutral position when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
In an automatic transmission vehicle, pull the
parking brake lever while keeping the brake
pedal depressed, and then place the range
selector lever in the “P” position.
2. Pull the parking brake lever.
3. Stop the engine by turning the starter switch to
the “ACC” position. P. 5-11
4. To help prevent theft and needless consumption
of electricity from the battery, be sure to remove
the starter key and lock the doors.
CAUTION
• Leaving the vehicle sitting for a long time
with the starter switch in the “ON” or “ACC”
position could result in a dead battery.
• Be sure to turn off all lights after parking to
prevent drainage of the battery.
5. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, block the
wheels securely with chocks and take any other
necessary measures to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
<Standard on FG>
The limited slip differential performs a special func-
tion in addition to the ordinary differential function
which is needed when the vehicle is in a turn. When
one wheel begins to spin on a slippery surface, the
limited slip differential provides most of the driving
force to the wheel which is not spinning, thus auto-
matically stopping the spinning and providing trac-
tion to the vehicle.
This function is effective when driving on bumpy or
snow laden roads, and useful when moving the
vehicle out of mud.
