Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street, follow these
procedures:
Parking facing downhill
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move the vehicle
forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R”
(Reverse) position (with manual transmission) or the allshift
lever into the “R” (Reverse) position (with automated manual
transmission).
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.
Parking facing uphill
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle
back until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the 1st
position (with manual transmission) or the allshift lever into
the “S” (Stand by) position (with automated manual transmis-
sion).
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.
NOTE
●
If your vehicle has an automated manual transmission,
place the allshift lever in the “S” (Stand by) position or
“R” (Reverse) position before stopping the engine.
If you move the allshift lever after stopping the engine, a
gearshift will not take place.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a short
sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or
poorly ventilated place.
Where you park
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over kerbs
or parking stop blocks. Be careful when travelling up or down
steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road.
When leaving the vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all
doors and the tailgate when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
WARNING
!
●
Leaving the engine running risks injury or death
from accidentally moving the gearshift lever (man-
ual transmission) or the allshift lever (automated
manual transmission) or the accumulation of toxic
exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
!
●
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in
contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
