Parking
E00600601390
To
park the vehicle, fully engage the parking
brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1
st
or
“R” (Reverse) position for vehicles with M/T, or
set the gearshift lever to “P” (PARK) position for
vehicles with Twin Clutch SST.
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.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or
the gearshift lever into the “P” (PARK) position
(with Twin Clutch SST).
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.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the 1
st
position (with M/T) or the gearshift
lever into the “P” (PARK) position (with Twin
Clutch SST).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE
l
If
your vehicle is equipped with Twin Clutch
SST, be sure to apply the parking brake be-
fore moving the gearshift lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If you move the gearshift
lever to the “P” (PARK) position before ap-
plying the parking brake, it may be difficult
to disengage the gearshift lever from the “P”
(PARK) position when next you drive the ve-
hicle, requiring application of a strong force
to the gearshift lever to move from the “P”
(PARK) position.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest, or you open or close a gate or ga-
rage door, etc. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place.
WARNING
l
Leaving
the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever or the accumulation of tox-
ic exhaust fumes in the passenger com-
partment.
Where you park

l
Do
not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always
carry the key and lock all doors when leav-
ing the vehicle unattended.
