Parking on a hill
Always use the parking brake when parking
on a hill.
WARNING
Always use the parking brake when park-
ing on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear
or the automatic transmission's P position
is not sufficient to hold the car stationary in
all situations.
If the car is parked facing uphill:
•
Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
•
Turn the wheels towards the kerb.
Heavy load uphill
A heavy load, such as a trailer, can cause the
car to roll backward when the parking brake is
released automatically on a steep incline.
Avoid this by pulling the control upwards
while driving the car away. Release the control
when the engine achieves traction.
