Brake pedal operation

CAUTION
Get into the habit of always using the right foot
to depress the brake pedal. If you use the left
foot, the pedal-pressing action will not be fully
responsive, which could lead to an accident
especially in the case of emergency braking.
Before starting the engine, step on the accelera-
tor pedal and brake pedal with your right foot to
confirm the locations of these pedals.
1.4 Leaving the vehicle with the engine
running
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure the parking
brake is firmly applied, the gearshift lever is in the
"P" position, and the gear position indicator is show-
ing "P". If you open the door with the engine running
and the gearshift lever in the "D" position, a buzzer
will sound continuously to warn you.
If you place the gearshift lever in the "R" position
with the engine running, the buzzer will sound inter-
mittently.
1.5

Parking

Park the vehicle on a level, flat surface if possible.
When parking the vehicle, do the following:
While keeping the brake pedal depressed, firmly
apply the parking brake and then place the gearshift
lever in the "P" position.
If it is unavoidable to park the vehicle on a slope,
firmly engage the parking brake while keeping the
brake pedal depressed, and then place the gearshift
lever in the "P" position. In addition, chock the
wheels.
1.6 Selecting the "R" (reverse) position
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop before placing
the gearshift lever in the "R" position. The "R" posi-
tion cannot be selected while the vehicle is moving.
