Introduction

PARKING

— Do not park the vehicle on an easily
flammable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
Always apply parking brake
—
without pressing release button.
Apply as firmly as possible on
downhill or uphill slopes. Depress
the footbrake at the same time to
reduce operating force.
After running at high engine speeds
—
or with high engine loads, operate
the diesel engine briefly at a low
load or run in neutral for about 1 to 2
minutes at idle speed before
switching off in order to protect the
turbo charger.
When parking the vehicle on level
—
ground or on a slope, engage first
gear before turning OFF the
ignition switch. When the vehicle is
parked on an uphill slope, turn the
front wheels away from the curb.
— When parking the vehicle on a
downhill slope, engage reverse gear
