Parking The Vehicle
To park safely, it is essential to engage MANUAL (1st) gear, DRIVE (D) or REVERSE
(R) gear while your foot is on the brake pedal. Once MANUAL (1st) gear, DRIVE (D)
or REVERSE (R) gear is displayed in the EVIC, turn the engine off and engage the
parking brake. It is essential to wait until the gear engaged appears in the display
before turning the engine off and releasing the brake pedal. Always remember to set
your parking brake.
NOTE:
NEVER leave your vehicle with the gearbox in NEUTRAL (N) and always remember to
fully apply your parking brake. Always remember to set the parking brake when the
“Set Park Brake” message is displayed.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without fully
applying the parking brake. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
