252 STARTING AND OPERATING
Maximum Recommended Downshift Speeds
Parking
When parking and leaving the vehicle, proceed as follows:
• Engage a gear (FIRST gear if facing uphill or REVERSE if
facing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
• Stop the engine and engage the park brake.
• Always remove the key fob.
• Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow the maximum recommended
downshifting speeds may cause the engine to overspeed
and/or damage the clutch disc, even if the clutch pedal is
pressed.

CAUTION!
If you skip a gear while downshifting or downshift at
too high of a vehicle speed, these conditions may cause
the engine to overspeed if too low of a gear is selected
and the clutch pedal is released. Damage to the clutch

vehicle speed even if the clutch pedal is held pressed
(i.e., not released).
