1. Depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
complete halt.
2. Parking procedures vary depending on the type
of transmission used on the vehicle. Proceed as
follows.
•
On a vehicle with manual transmission,
move the gear shift lever to the “NEUTRAL”
position and apply the parking brake.
•
On a vehicle with automatic transmission
(excluding FM65F), apply the parking brake
and then operate the range selector lever as
follows.
Move the lever from the forward or reverse
range, whichever the vehicle is in at that
time, to the “N” position, and then set the
lever to the “P” position. If this process is not
followed, it may require great effort to move
the range selector lever out of the “P” posi-
tion and back to other ranges.
CAUTION
Do not park the vehicle only by setting the range
selector lever to the “P” position. Be sure to
also apply the parking brake at the same time.
•
On a vehicle with automatic transmission
(FM65F), apply the parking brake and then
set the range selector lever to the “N” posi-
tion.
3. Stop the engine by turning the starter switch to
the “ACC” position. P. 5-12
4. To help prevent theft and needless consumption
of electricity from the battery, be sure to remove
the starter key and lock the doors.
CAUTION
•
Leaving the starter switch in the “ON” posi-
tion or “ACC” position for an extended
period may drain the battery.
•
Be sure to turn off all lights after parking to
prevent drainage of the battery.
5. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, block the
wheels securely with chocks and take other nec-
essary measures to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
WARNING
Illumination of the indicator lamp does
not necessarily mean that the parking brake
is sufficiently activated. Always activale fully
the parking brake.
