Parking - Mitsubishi Fuso CANTER Owner's Handbook Manual

WARNING
•
Park the vehicle on the flattest available
surface.
Avoid parking on slopes.
If it is unavoidable to park the vehicle on a
slope, do the following: Firmly apply the
parking brake while fully depressing the
brake pedal. On vehicles with DUONIC
system, place the gearshift lever in the "P"
position, and chock 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 move-
ment.
•
On vehicles with DUONIC system, do not
park the vehicle only with the gearshift
lever placed in the "P" position; always
firmly engage the parking brake. If you
park the vehicle on a steep slope only by
placing the gearshift lever in the "P" posi-
tion without also engaging the parking
brake, the gearshift lever will become
extremely difficult to move or, in the worst
case, it may be impossible to release the
transmission from the locked state. If this
happens, shift the gearshift lever into the
"N" position and then, after making sure
the gear position indicator shows "N",
move the lever to the "D" position.
•
The engine
extremely hot immediately after the vehi-
cle has been driven. Do not park the vehi-
cle in any place where there is dry grass,
waste paper, or other flammable material.
•
Always stop the engine before sleeping in
the cabin. You could otherwise cause an
accident by unintentionally moving the
accelerator pedal or shift lever while sleep-
ing. Also, you could suffer carbon-monox-
ide poisoning from exhaust gases if the
vehicle is parked in a closed space.
