Driving your vehicle
• Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi‐
tion. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake
may freeze, apply it only temporarily
while you put the shift lever in P (au‐
tomatic transaxle / dual clutch trans‐
mission) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on the up‐
grade with the accelerator pedal. This
can cause the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or park‐
ing brake.
