On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking
system, making the brakes less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay close
attention to preceding and following vehicles
and to the condition of the road surface. From
time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal
and check how effective the brakes are.
It is important to take advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on
steep downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating.

When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,
and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Place the gearshift lever into the “R”
(Reverse) position when parking on a down-
hill slope, into the 1st position when parking
on an uphill slope.
Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set
when parked and that the selector lever is in
the “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set
the parking brake before moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre-
vents loading the parking brake against the
transaxle. When this happens, it is difficult to
move the selector lever out of the “P”
(PARK) position.
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep or rest. Also, never leave
the engine running in a closed or poorly ven-
tilated place.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you
scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.
Be careful when traveling up or down steep
slopes where your bumper can scrape the
road.
More effort could be required to turn the
steering wheel.
Refer to “Electric power steering system
(EPS)” on page 5-69.
