Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
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 M/T) or the selector lever into the
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
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 M/T) or the selector lever into the
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE
●
If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, be sure to apply the
parking brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it
may be difficult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle,
requiring application of a strong force to the selector lever
to move from the “P” (PARK) position.
CAUTION
!
●
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is
fully released and brake warning lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the parking
brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in
ineffective braking and possible brake failure.
●
When you intend to apply the parking brake, firmly
press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop before pulling the parking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle
moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby
making the vehicle unstable.
●
If the brake warning lamp does not extinguish when
the parking brake is fully released, the brake system
may be abnormal. For details, refer to “Brake
warning lamp” on page 3-10.
