Never use the parking brake to slow down the vehicle when it is moving, except in an emer‐
gency. Braking distance is much longer, since only the rear wheels are braked. Always use the
foot brake.
Never press the accelerator pedal when a selector lever position or gear is engaged and the
engine is running. The vehicle could begin moving, even if the electronic parking brake is set.
Never activate the throttle manually from the engine compartment when the engine is running
and the automatic transmission is in gear. The vehicle will start to move even if the parking
brake is engaged.
NOTE
Even though the transmission is in Park (P), the vehicle may move a couple of inches (a few cen‐
timeters) forwards or backwards if you take your foot off the brake pedal after stopping the vehi‐
cle without first firmly setting the parking brake.
