• Vehicles equipped with a dual
clutch transmission when tow-
ing a trailer on steep grades, the
clutch in the transmission could
overheat. When the clutch is
overheated, the safe protection
mode engages. If the safe pro-
tection mode engages, the gear
position indicator on the cluster
blinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse.
To return to normal driving con-
ditions, stop the vehicle on a flat
road and apply the foot brake for
a few minutes before driving off.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer
attached to your vehicle, you should
not park your vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking
area.
Turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the curb (right if head-
ed down hill, left if headed up hill).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for auto-
matic transmission / dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transmission vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off
the vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the
trailer wheels on the down hill side
of the wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, apply the brakes,
shift to neutral, release the park-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or 1
st
gear
when the vehicle is parked on a
uphill grade and in R (Reverse) on
a downhill (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release
the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.

To prevent serious or fatal
injury:
•
Do not get out of the vehicle
without the parking brake
firmly set. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You and
others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
•
Do not apply the accelerator
pedal to hold the vehicle on
an uphill.
