fore entering it.

head restraint height and steering wheel
angle.

mirrors.

1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and acces-
sories.
3. Put the selector lever in “P”. If you
need to restart the engine while the ve-

the starter from operating if the selector
lever is in any drive position.

the floor until driving off.
