Parking

To park the vehicle, fully engage the parking
brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1
"R" (Reverse) position for vehicles equipped with
M/T, or set the selector lever (A/T or CVT) or gear-
shift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to "P" (PARK) posi-
tion for vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT or Twin
Clutch SST.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these
procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move
the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently
touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the parking
brake and place the gearshift lever into the "R" (Re-
verse) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT or Twin
Clutch SST, apply the parking brake and place the
selector lever (A/T or CVT) or gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) into the "P" (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gen-
tly touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the parking
brake and place the gearshift lever into the 1
tion.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT or Twin
Clutch SST, apply the parking brake and place the
selector lever (A/T or CVT) or gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) into the "P" (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTE
l If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, CVT

or Twin Clutch SST, be sure to apply the park-
st
or ing brake before moving selector lever (A/T
or CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch
SST) to the "P" (PARK) position. If you
move selector lever (A/T or CVT) or gear-
shift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to the "P"
(PARK) position before applying the parking
brake, it may be difficult to disengage selec-
tor lever (A/T or CVT) or gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) from the "P" (PARK) po-
sition when next you drive the vehicle, requir-
ing application of a strong force the selector
lever (A/T or CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) to move from the "P" (PARK)
position.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a
short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine run-
ning in a closed or poorly ventilated place.
WARNING
l Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (with M/T or Twin Clutch
SST) or the selector lever (with A/T or
CVT) or the accumulation of toxic ex-
haust fumes in the passenger compart-
ment.
