PARKING
YOUR
TRANSPORTER
in a space between two vehicles parked at the curb can be easier if you heed
the following advice:
Stop your vehicle level with the vehicle in front of the space. Turn the
steering
wheel
sharply to the right and back your vehicle slowly into
the gap.
When the front bumper of your Transporter is even with the rear bum-
per of the vehicle ahead of you, turn the steering wheel fully to the left,
and back up further toward the curb.
Now turn the steering wheel to the right again and pull up a little bit,
until both ends of the vehicle come as close to the curb as possible.
When parking on a steep gradient,
set the hand brake to stop the ve-
hicle rolling. As a precautionary measu re, it is advisable to engage first or
reverse gear in addition to the hand brake.
A
nd do not fo rget to take the key
out of the ignition switch before you leave your vehicle. If a steering-ignition
lock is fitted, remove the key at the " Halt" position.
T
his locks the
st
eering
and protects the vehicle against theft.
Prior to locking the driver's door secure the door on the othe
r
side by lowe r-
ing the inside door handle.
It is advisable to lock the door windows when leaving the vehicle
fo
r any
length of time.
