Always use the parking brake when
you park your vehicle. Make sure
the parking brake is set firmly, or
your vehicle may roll if it is parked
on an incline.
Make sure the windows are closed.
Turn off the lights.
Place any packages, valuables, etc.,
in the luggage area or take them
with you.
Lock the doors.
Check the indicator on the
instrument panel to verify that the
security system is set.
Never park over dry leaves, tall
grass, or other flammable
materials. The hot catalytic
converter could cause these
materials to catch on fire.
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb, and put the transmission in
first gear.
If the vehicle is facing downhill,
turn the f ront wheels toward the
curb, and put the transmission in
reverse gear.
Make sure the parking brake is
fully released before driving away.
Driving with the parking brake
partially set can overheat or
damage the rear brakes.
Never install a sunshade between
the upper and lower displays on the
instrument panel. If you do, you
could cause heat damage t o t he
upper display on a very hot day.
Before turning off the engine, make
sure the gear position indicator in
the upper display shows you the
appropriate gear position.
