Parking Tips - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

J Parking tips
WARNING
D Never leave unattended children or pets in the vehicle. They
could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, the tem-
perature in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough
to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
D Be sure to stop the engine if you take a nap in the vehicle. If
engine exhaust gas enters the passenger compartment, occu-
pants in the vehicle could die from carbon monoxide (CO) con-
tained in the exhaust gas.
When parking your vehicle, always set the parking brake firmly and put
the shift lever in the "1" (1st) for an upgrade or "R" (Reverse) for a down-
grade for manual transmission vehicles, or in the "P" (Park) position for
automatic transmission vehicles.
Always set the parking brake firmly when parking your vehicle. Never
rely on the transmission alone to hold the vehicle.
For better parking brake power, depress the brake pedal firmly while set-
ting the parking brake.
