CAUTION
• If you park in a place where there is a lot of snowfall, snow accumulating around
the vehicle could limit ventilation. Running the engine with the vehicle in these
conditions could cause exhaust gases to enter the cabin, resulting in carbon-
monoxide poisoning. Take preventive action by, for example, clearing the snow
around the vehicle.
NOTE
• When parking outdoors, take steps to prevent the engine from getting
unnecessarily cold. For example, position the vehicle with the front end
downwind.
• Do not park under trees or under the eaves of a building. Chunks of ice could
fall on the vehicle if you park in such a place.
• If you park a hill-start-aid (HSA) model in gear, a warning buzzer will sound for
about 30 seconds. This does not indicate an abnormality.

TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Cautions for Parking
Parking in Cold Regions
When snow collects around the wheels and
lights, try to remove it before night falls.
Do not apply the parking brake in cold
regions. If you leave the parking brake
applied, the wires and brake shoes could
freeze up, making it impossible for you to
release the parking brake. Be sure to park
the vehicle in gear.
To park in gear, place the shift lever in the
"1" (first gear) position or "R" (reverse)
position and stop the vehicle on a level
surface. With a AMT vehicle, make sure
the shift indicator is showing "1" or "R" and
stop the vehicle on a level surface before
stopping the engine.
Be sure to put chocks against the tyres.
Whenever possible, park in a garage to
help prevent parts from freezing up and to
help make the engine easy to start.
