Parking
To park the vehicle, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles equip- ped with M/T, or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position for vehicles equipped with
CVT.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move the vehicle forward until the kerb sidewheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and
move the vehicle back until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the 1 st
position.

parking brake and place the selector lever in- to the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.NOTEz If your vehicle is equipped with CVT, be
sure to apply the parking brake before mov-
ing selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (Park) position before applying the park-
ing brake, it may be difficult to disengage
the selector lever from the “P” (Park) posi-
tion when next you drive the vehicle, requir- ing application of a strong force to the selec-
tor lever to move from the “P” (Park) posi- tion.
