WARNING
. Do not stop or park the vehicle
over flammable materials such as
dry grass, waste paper or rags.
They may ignite and cause a fire.
. Never leave the engine running
while the vehicle is unattended.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could
unknowingly activate switches
or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious
accidents.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and/or its
systems, do not leave children,
people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk
of injury or death to people and
pets.
. Safe parking procedures require
that both the parking brake be
applied and the transmission
placed into P (Park). Failure to
do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away
and result in an accident.
. Make sure the shift lever cannot
be moved without depressing the
foot brake pedal.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Push the park button to shift to the P
(Park) position.
3. To help prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing into the street when parked on a
sloping drive way, it is a good practice
to turn the wheels as illustrated.
.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:
Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the

.
HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:
Turn the wheels away from the
curb and move the vehicle back
until the curb side wheel gently
touches the curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:

the road so the vehicle will move
away from the center of the road if
it moves.
