Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffi c: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery.
Apply the handbrake, switch off the
ignition and engage fi rst gear * to
lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the

It is imperative that you ensure that
the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
