WARNING

Do not stop or park the vehicle over

flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.

Safe parking procedures require that

both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park) for
automatic transmission models or in an
appropriate gear for manual transmis-
sion models. Failure to do so could
cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly
or roll away and result in an accident.

Make sure the shift selector has been
pushed as far forward as it can go and
cannot be moved without depressing
the foot brake pedal.

Never leave the engine running while

the vehicle is unattended.

Do not leave children unattended inside

the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Manual transmission models:

Place the shift selector in the R (Reverse)
position. When parking on an uphill grade,
place the shift selector in 1st gear.

Automatic transmission models:

Move the shift selector to the P (Park) posi-
tion.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into

traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good
practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.

● HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:

A

Turn the wheels into the curb and move the
vehicle forward until the curb side wheel
gently touches the curb.

● HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:

B

Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

● HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO

CURB:

C

Turn the wheels toward the side of the road
so the vehicle will move away from the cen-
ter of the road if it moves.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion and remove the key.
