CAUTION
In case the gear shift is not com-
pleted before the ignition switch is
turned off, the gear may not be en-
gaged properly preventing the vehicle
from parking with gear. When park-
ing, always confirm the gear position
by the gear position indicator. On a
level surface or a downhill, the gear
should be put in reverse, and in the
1st on an uphill. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle may move, and cause an unex-
pected accident. If the gear is left in
the neutral gear position, the vehicle
can not be parked with the gear en-
gaged.
