Parking brake
The parking brake is situated between the
front seats and acts on the rear wheels.

Parking
WARNING
• Always apply the parking brake when
you park the car.
• Always apply the parking brake
before removing the ignition key.
• Do not use the parking brake while
driving.
WARNING
• Do not leave children or pets unat-
tended in the car. In warm, sunny
weather, the temperature inside the
car can reach 160–180°F (70–80°C).
• Park where the vehicle will not create
an obstruction or a hazard to other
road users.
• Do not park on dry grass or other com-
bustible material. The catalytic con-
verter gets very hot and could start a
fire.
• Apply the parking brake.

sion (automatic transmission: move
selector lever to P (Park)), and remove
the ignition key. Lock the car.
