To park the vehicle, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to 1st or “R” (Reverse) position.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill
Turn the front wheels toward the kerb and move the vehicle
forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R”
(Reverse) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle
back until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the 1st
position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a short
sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or
poorly ventilated place. Leaving the engine running risks
injury or death from accidentally moving the gearshift lever or
the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes on the passenger com-
partment.
Where you park
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors and the split tailgate
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
WARNING
!
● 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.
