You have properly stopped and parked
your vehicle. End your drive as follows.

With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and the
steering systems. In this case, it is impor-
tant to keep in mind that a considerably
higher degree of effort is necessary to brake
and steer the vehicle.
Warning!
Do not park this vehicle in areas where com-
bustible materials such as grass, hay, or
G
leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system, as these materials could be
ignited and cause a vehicle fire.

sult of vehicle movement, before turning off

Keep right foot on brake pedal.
