Moving Your Vehicle Only After Starting the Engine
Move your vehicle only after having started the engine.
Parking Downhill

Reverse for vehicles with the manual transmission or set the
gearshift lever in P for vehicles with the automatic transmission.
Parking Uphill
After firmly applying the park brake, set the gearshift lever in
first gear for vehicles with the manual transmission or set the
gearshift lever in P for vehicles with the automatic transmission.
When Parking or Stopping in An Enclosed Place
When parking or stopping in an enclosed place, turn off the
engine.
Things To Watch For When Reversing
When reversing your vehicle, always make sure that there
are no children or other obstacles behind the vehicle.
Driving in the Rain
When it is raining, the road surface becomes slippery and
your tire-to-road traction is reduced, so you should drive more
carefully than usual.
If you travel at a high speed on a wet road, your tires might not be in
constant contact with the road; if your tires float, your vehicle starts
hydroplaning. You might lose control of your steering and brakes.
CAUTION
After driving through a puddle of water, or after a car wash,
apply your brake pedal lightly several times while moving
slowly to confirm that your brakes work normally before get-
ting on the road.
Driving the vehicle on a downhill using the downgrade slope with-
out running the engine might cause an accident.
WARNING
Place wheel chocks under the wheels.
CAUTION
Place wheel chocks under the wheels.
CAUTION
Leaving the engine running in an enclosed place, in a garage or
indoors or in other areas with no air ventilation, might result in death
from carbon monoxide poisoning.
