IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION
•
Except in an emergency, do not apply the parking brake until the vehicle has
come to a complete stop. Applying the parking brake before the vehicle has
stopped can cause the tyres to lock or the vehicle to spin, possibly causing an
accident.

CAUTION
•
As much as possible, choose level
places to park and avoid parking on
slopes. If you cannot avoid parking
on a slope, firmly apply the parking
brake and make sure the vehicle
does not move. Apply chocks to the
wheels for safety. Also, leave the
vehicle in gear to further ensure that
it will not move.
•
Leave the steering wheel turned
so that the vehicle will be stopped
by an obstruction (for example, the
curb) in the unlikely event that it
moves.
