and non-slippery.

With a manual gearbox, engage first gear

With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.

Check for fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument

Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
