you are moving. This can damage
the brake system.
Stopping the Engine
SM6 Model
1. Shift into first gear.
2. Set the engine stop switch to OFF.
3. Engage the parking brake. The
brake locks in the depressed posi-
tion, and a scrolling message PARK
BRAKE will appear on the display.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
5. Before dismounting, check that the
parking brake is fully engaged. Hold
the clutch and rock the vehicle back
and forth.

The vehicle can roll if the parking
brake is not engaged and the trans-
mission is in neutral.

2. Set the engine stop switch to OFF.
3. Engage the parking brake. The

gaged while the key is OFF, the park
brake indicator light will flash and a

the vehicle back and forth.
WARNING
Always engage the parking brake.
The vehicle can roll if the parking
brake is not engaged, regardless
of what gear it is in. The clutch is
always disengaged when the vehi-
cle is stopped, so the transmission
will not hold the vehicle in place.

vehicle on a slope. If you must push
the vehicle on a slope, take extra
care to stay within reach of the brake
pedal in case the vehicle starts to
roll.

without starting the engine:

down and hold the brake pedal.

TRAL (SM6 model).

hicle, keeping your foot on the brake
pedal.

needed.

right side, so you can reach the brake
pedal. Stay clear of the hot exhaust
pipe.
When pulling the vehicle backward,
be careful that the front wheel does
not roll over your feet.

specified above.
