tion. The vehicle can be parked with the
gearshift lever at "D" or "R" position.

is in gear, you must set the parking brake
firmly. Park the vehicle with a gear
engaged.
1) Apply the parking brake firmly.
2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift
the gearshift lever to the "R" position on
a downhill slope, and to the 1st position
in the drive (D) mode or the "M" position
in the manual (M) mode on an uphill
slope and confirm the gear position by
checking the gear position indicator.
3) Stop the engine.

release the parking brake and brake
pedal slowly in order to check the gear
is engaged.

gear engaged, Apply the parking brake
and the brake pedal firmly again.

under the wheels.
