Stopping
When you stop briefly, e.g. at traffic

왘 Move gear selector lever to park
position P.
Warning! G
Getting out of your vehicle with the gear
selector lever not fully engaged in park
position P is dangerous. Also, park
position P alone is not intended to or
capable of preventing your vehicle from
moving, possibly hitting people or objects.
Always set the parking brake in addition to
shifting to park position P (컄 page 72).
When parked on an incline, turn the front
wheels towards the road curb.
Do not park this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as grass, hay or
leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system, as these materials could be
ignited and cause a vehicle fire.
Warning! G
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the SmartKey or SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO** from the starter switch,
take it with you, and lock the vehicle. Do
not leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Children could move the gear selector
lever from park position P, which could
result in an accident and/or serious
personal injury.
