Always use the parking brake when
you park your vehicle. Make sure the
parking brake is set firmly, or your
vehicle may roll if it is parked on an
incline.
If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, set the parking brake
before you put the transmission in
Park. This keeps the vehicle from
moving and putting pressure on the
parking mechanism in the
transmission.
Parking Tips
Make sure the windows are
●
closed.
Turn off the lights.
●
Place any packages, valuables, etc.
●
in the cargo area or take them with
you.
Lock the doors and the hatch with
●
the key.
Never park over dry leaves, tall
●
grass, or other flammable
materials. The hot three way
catalytic converter could cause
these materials to catch on fire.
Parking
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
●
the front wheels away from the
curb. If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, put it in first gear.
If the vehicle is facing downhill,
●
turn the front wheels toward the
curb. If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, put it in reverse
gear.
Make sure the parking brake is
●
fully released before driving away.
Driving with the parking brake
partially set can overheat or
damage the rear brakes.
