Keep Flammable Material Away from the Vehicle
Stopping and Parking with the Engine Running
WARNING
• When stopping and parking with the engine running: If your vehicle is equipped
with a manual transmission, be sure to place the gearshift lever in the "N"
position to select neutral. With a AMT vehicle, make sure the shift indicator is
showing "N". Then, firmly apply the parking brake. Unless you take these steps,
any unintended pressure on the accelerator pedal could cause an accident.
CAUTION
• The diesel particulate defuser (DPD) may automatically start regeneration when
the vehicle is stopped and parked with the engine running. To prevent a fire,
make sure there is no flammable material near the muffler, DPD, and exhaust
pipe. Be careful not to get burned by hot exhaust gases.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION
• The exhaust pipe is extremely hot
immediately after vehicle operation.
Before parking, make sure the area
is free of flammable material (for
example, dry grass, waste paper, oil
or old tyres). Take particular care
when parking in a garage.
• Use caution concerning exhaust
gases while the engine is idling. Be
particularly careful when the power
take-off (PTO) is operating (if your
vehicle is equipped with a PTO) or
the diesel particulate defuser (DPD)
is regenerating while the engine is
idling.
