WARNING
•
Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass, waste pa-
per or rags. They may ignite and cause a fire.
•
Safe parking procedures require that both the
parking brake be applied and the shift lever
placed in the P (Park) position. Failure to do
so could cause the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly or roll away and result in an accident.
•
When parking the vehicle, make sure the shift
lever is moved to the P (Park) position. The
shift lever cannot be moved out of the P (Park)
position without depressing the footbrake
pedal.
•
Never leave the engine running while the ve-
hicle is unattended.
•
Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently
become involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal illness to people and animals.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Shift the shift lever (MT models) into the N (Neu-
tral) position (Xtronic Transmission (CVT) mod-
els, move the shift lever to the P (Park) position).
3. To help prevent the vehicle from moving into traf-
fic when parked on an incline, it is a good prac-
tice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

hicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently

Turn the wheels away from the kerb and allow
the vehicle to move back until the kerb side wheel
gently touches the kerb. Then apply the parking
brake.
