Switches and controls
•
In a vehicle with an ISS system, if you keep the
gearshift lever in the "D" position while the vehi-
cle is stopped, braking power will be retained for
a few seconds after you release the brake pedal
to start the vehicle until creeping starts to occur.
Braking power will not be retained if you stop the
vehicle with the gearshift lever in the "N" position
or if you place the gearshift lever in the "N" posi-
tion after the engine has been automatically
stopped.
See page 5-13 for details on the ISS system.
10 Parking
WARNING
•
Avoid parking on slopes. The vehicle may
start moving while it is parked, causing an
unexpected accident. When you cannot
avoid parking on a slope, securely apply
the parking brake. On a vehicle with a
DUONIC system, place the gearshift lever
in the "P" position and apply chocks to the
wheels. You can further improve safety by
leaving the steering wheel turned so the
vehicle will roll toward an obstacle (for
example, a curbstone) in the unlikely event
of movement.
•
Do not park the vehicle by only placing the
gearshift lever in the "P" position. If you
park the vehicle on a steep slope by only
placing the gearshift lever in the "P" posi-
tion, the gearshift lever will become hard
to move, and in some cases it may
become impossible to release the lever. In
such a case, first place the gearshift lever
in the "N" position. Then, after checking
that the gearshift position indicator is
showing "N", place the lever in the "D"
position.
1. Stop the vehicle on the flattest available surface.
2. While keeping the brake pedal depressed, pull
the parking brake lever to fully apply the parking
brake.
