HONDA 2012 Crosstour - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 311)

Always use the parking brake when
you park your vehicle. Make sure
the parking brake is set firmly, or
your vehicle may roll if it is parked
on an incline. If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb.
Make sure the moonroof and the
windows are closed.
Turn off the lights.
Set the parking brake before you put
the transmission in Park. This keeps
the vehicle from moving and putting
pressure on the parking mechanism
in the transmission. Place any packages, valuables, etc.,
where they cannot be seen from
outside the vehicle or take them
with you.
Never park over dry leaves, tall
grass, or other flammable
materials. The hot three way
catalytic converter could cause
these materials to catch on fire.
Check the indicator on the
instrument panel to verify that the
security system is set.
Lock the doors and the tailgate.
Make sure the parking brake is
fully released before driving away.
Driving with the parking brake
partially set can overheat or
damage the rear brakes.
If the vehicle is facing downhill,
turn the front wheels toward the
curb.
