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.
Make sure the sunroof (if
equipped) and the windows are
closed.
Turn off the lights.
Place any packages, valuables, etc.,
in the luggage area, or take them
with you.
Check the indicator on the
instrument panel to verify that the
security system is set.
Lock the doors with the key or the
remote transmitter.
Always use the parking brake when
you park your vehicle. The indicator
on the instrument panel shows that
the parking brake is not fully re-
leased; it does not indicate that the
parking brake is firmly set. Make
sure the parking brake is set firmly
or your vehicle may roll if it is
parked on an incline.
If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, 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
making it easier to
move the shift lever out of Park
when you want to drive away.
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the curb.
If you have a manual transmission,
put it in first gear.
If the vehicle is facing downhill, turn
the front wheels toward the curb. If
you have a manual transmission, put
it in reverse gear.
Never park over dry leaves, tall
grass, or other flammable
materials. The catalytic converter
gets very hot, and could cause
these materials to catch on fire.
