IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Parking in Cold Regions
When snow collects around the wheels and
lights, try to remove it before night falls.
Do not apply the parking brake in cold
regions. If you leave the parking brake
applied, the wires and brake shoes could
freeze up, making it impossible for you to
release the parking brake. Be sure to park
the vehicle in gear.
For manual transmission models, be
sure to park the vehicle by shifting the
gearshift lever into the "1 (1st gear)" or "R
(reverse)" position when in a flat location.
For automatic transmission models, shift
the selector lever into the "P" position,
check whether "P" is indicated on the shift
indicator, park the vehicle in a flat location
and then stop the engine.
Be sure to put chocks against the tires.
WARNING
• If you park in a place where there is a lot of snowfall, snow accumulating around
the vehicle could limit ventilation. Running the engine with the vehicle in these
conditions could cause exhaust gases to enter the cab, resulting in carbon-
monoxide poisoning. Take preventive action by, for example, clearing the snow
around the vehicle.
