TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Parking in Cold Regions
When snow collects around the wheels and
lights, try to remove it before night falls.
Cautions for Parking
CAUTION
When there is a risk that the parking brake will freeze in a cold region: With
wheel parking brake model, dry the brake linings and drums by lightly pressing
the brake pedal five or six times while driving at a speed of 30 km/h (19 MPH)
before bringing the vehicle to a halt; and apply the parking brake. With center
parking brake model, apply chocks under the wheels after stopping the engine
and park the vehicle without applying the parking brake.
For parking in gear: If the vehicle has a manual transmission, place the gearshift
lever in the "1" (1st gear) or "R" (reverse gear) position. With Smoother model,
make sure the shift indicator is showing "1" (1st gear) or "R" (reverse gear).
On ZF9S1110 transmission model, make sure low range is selected before
parking. For parking in gear, select low range and place the gearshift lever in
the "1" (1st gear) or "R1" (reverse 1 gear) position.
