Parking
o When parking on a hill, fully engage
the parking brake and set the gear
shift lever to 1st or reverse position.
It is recommended to use chocks for
greater safety.
o Do not keep the engine running for
a long time in a closed or poorly
ventilated place. Carbon monoxide
gas is odourless and extremely poi-
sonous and dangerous.
o Do not park in places where there
are such inflammable objects as dry
grass, waste cloth, etc. Exhaust
pipe temperature is very high just
after driving and dry grass etc., if
present around the exhaust pipe,
can catch fire.
Also avoid such places for parking
where there are inflammable ob-
jects at the rear of car.

BRAKE PEDAL
CAUTION:
It is important that you do not drive
the vehicle with your foot resting
on the brake pedal when braking is
not required. This practice can re-
sult in abnormally high brake tem-
perature, excessive lining wear, and
possible damage to the brakes.

Brake pedal
Excessive use of the brake can cause
fading, resulting in poor brake response
and premature wear of brake linings.
When going down a long or steep
grade, use engine braking by shifting
the transmission into the "2" (SEC-
OND) or "L" (LOW) position.
