Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move
the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the parking
brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Re-
verse) position.
On vehicles equipped with CVT, apply the parking
brake and place the selector lever into the “P”
(PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.

brake and place the gearshift lever into the 1
st

your vehicle is equipped with CVT, be
sure to apply the parking brake before mov-
ing selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion. If you move the selector lever to the
