NOTICE
Release the parking brake fully before driving. The
rear brakes and axle can be damaged if you drive
with the parking brake applied.

parking brake, a buzzer sounds as a warning, and
"RELEASE PARKING BRAKE" appears on the multi-
information display.
Always apply the parking brake when parking.

the outside temperature is extremely cold, do not
apply it, but do the following:
Automatic transmission models
Put the shift lever in P , then use a block or other
wheel chock to stop the wheels from turning.
Manual transmission models
Put the shift lever in R or 1 , then use a block or
other wheel chock to stop the wheels from turning.
