For longer waiting periods with the engine running,
place the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition and apply the parking brake, while holding
the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTION
l Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped posi-
tion on an uphill slope by depressing the
accelerator pedal instead of the brake ped-
al.
The transmission may be damaged and
an accident may occur due to the follow-
ing conditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera-
ture will rise and can cause transmis-
sion damage.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle is kept in a stopped posi-
tion by depressing the accelerator ped-
al instead of the brake pedal, the vehi-
cle will vibrate or “SLOW DOWN”
and the
warning display will ap-
pear on the information screen in the
multi-information display to alert the
driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid
temperature has risen.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST flu-
id temperature rises even higher, the
transmission protection control will
operate.
If this occurs, the vehicle may sudden-
ly reverse as if the gearshift lever was
in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and
cause an accident.
If the warning display appears or
the transmission protection control op-
erates, refer to “When warning dis-
play is showing” on page 4-22.
Parking
E00622400014
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unattended, al-
ways switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTE
l On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the gearshift lever to
the “P” (PARK) position. If you move the
gearshift lever to the “P” (PARK) position be-
fore applying the parking brake, it may be dif-
ficult to disengage the gearshift lever from
the “P” (PARK) position when next you
drive the vehicle, requiring application of a
strong force to the gearshift lever to move
from the “P” (PARK) position.
