OPERATING ON HILLS
WARNING
Unless the brake pedal is fully depressed or parking brake is engaged, the
vehicle will roll freely on uphill and downhill terrain. Failure to control the
forward or reverse roll of the vehicle could result in serious injury or death.
The vehicle will roll freely on slanted terrain unless the brakes are applied.
You may use the park brake to control backwards rolling of the vehicle in steep
uphill scenarios to transition from stationary to propelling forward.
In these scenarios, engage the park brake while fully depressing the brake
pedal. Then, remove your foot from the brake pedal and gradually disengage the
park brake as you depress the accelerator to begin moving forward.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
To help prevent rolling, engage the park brake when the vehicle is parked. See
the Park Brake Lever section for details. When leaving the vehicle unattended,
turn the engine off and engage the park brake. To prevent unauthorized use,
always take the key fob with you.
