Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move
the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the “R” (Reverse) position (with manual
transmission) or the allshift lever into the “R” (Re-
verse) position (with automated manual transmis-
sion).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and place the gearshift lev-
er into the 1
st
position (with manual transmission)
or the allshift lever into the “S” (Stand by) position
(with automated manual transmission).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE
l
If your vehicle has an automated manual trans-
mission, place the allshift lever in the “S”
(Stand by) position or “R” (Reverse) position
before stopping the engine.
If you move the allshift lever after stopping
the engine, a gearshift will not take place.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place.
WARNING
l
Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (manual transmission) or
the allshift lever (automated manual trans-
mission) or the accumulation of toxic ex-
haust fumes on the passenger compart-
ment.
Where you park
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it
over kerbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when
travelling up or down steep slopes where your bump-
er can scrape the road.
WARNING
l
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch
and lock all doors and the tailgate when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
