PARKING THE VEHICLE
1. Apply the brakes. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
2. When parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure that the structure is
well ventilated and that the vehicle is not close to any source of flame or
sparks, including any appliance with pilot lights.
3. Move the direction switch to the neutral position.
4. Set the park brake.
5. Turn the key off. Remove the key from the ignition to prevent unauthorized
use.
PARKING ON AN INCLINE
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Set the park brake.
3. Place the direction selector in neutral.
4. Turn the key off.
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these
precautions:
• If parking in an open area, block the wheels on the downhill side of the vehicle
after turning the key off.
• If parking parallel to a curb, stop the vehicle close to the curb. If the vehicle is
facing downhill, turn the steering wheel toward the curb. The forward part of
the front tire should be turned into the curb. If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the steering wheel away from the curb. The rear part of the front tire should be
turned into the curb.
• Set the park brake.
TOWING LOADS (EL XD)
Your vehicle has been designed to carry or tow specific capacities. Always read
and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the warning labels. See
page 13.
The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, cargo and weight on hitch)
must not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
Always follow these precautions when towing:
1. Never load more than 150 lbs. (68 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
2. Slow down when towing. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
