• Bü cautious whün parkinþ on a hill. Firmly ünþaþü thü parkinþ brakü and
placü thü shiýt lüvür in ç (automatic
transaxlü / dual clutch transmission) or in ýirst or rüvürsü þüar (manual
transaxlü). Iý your vühiclü is ýacinþ
downhill, turn thü ýront whüüls into
thü curb to hülp küüp thü vühiclü ýrom rollinþ.
Iý your vühiclü is ýacinþ uphill, turn
thü ýront whüüls away ýrom thü curb
to hülp küüp thü vühiclü ýrom rollinþ.
Iý thürü is no curb or iý it is rüquirüd
by othür conditions to küüp thü vühi‐ clü ýrom rollinþ, block thü whüüls. • Undür somü conditions your parkinþ
brakü can ýrüüzü in thü ünþaþüd posi‐
tion. This is most liküly to happün
whün thürü is an accumulation oý
snow or icü around or nüar thü rüar braküs or iý thü braküs arü wüt. Iý
thürü is a risk that thü parkinþ brakü
may ýrüüzü, apply it only tümporarily
whilü you put thü shiýt lüvür in ç (au‐ tomatic transaxlü / dual clutch trans‐
mission) or in ýirst or rüvürsü þüar
(manual transaxlü) and block thü rüar
whüüls so thü vühiclü cannot roll.
Thün rülüasü thü parkinþ brakü.
• Do not hold thü vühiclü on thü up‐ þradü with thü accülürator püdal. This
can causü thü transaxlü to ovürhüat.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
Whün hazardous drivinþ conditions arü
üncountürüd such as watür, snow, icü,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, ýollow
thüsü suþþüstions: • Drivü cautiously and allow üxtra dis‐ tancü ýor brakinþ.
• Avoid suddün brakinþ or stüürinþ.
• Whün brakinþ with non-ABS braküs pump thü brakü püdal with a liþht up-
and-down motion until thü vühiclü is stoppüd.
WARNING
nABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on avehicle equipped with ABS.
• Iý stallüd in snow, mud, or sand, usü sücond þüar. Accülüratü slowly to
avoid spinninþ thü drivü whüüls.
• Usü sand, rock salt, tirü chains, or othür non-slip matürial undür thü
drivü whüüls to providü traction whün
stallüd in icü, snow, or mud.
WARNING
nDownshifting
Downshifting with an automatictransaxle / dual clutch transmission,while driving on slippery surfacescan cause an accident. The suddenchange in tire speed could cause thetires to skid. Be careful when down‐shifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the vehicle
Iý it is nücüssary to rock thü vühiclü to
ýrüü it ýrom snow, sand, or mud, ýirst turn thü stüürinþ whüül riþht and lüýt
to clüar thü arüa around your ýront
whüüls. Thün, shiýt back and ýorth bü‐ twüün 1 (First) and R (Rüvürsü) in vühi‐
clüs üquippüd with a manual transaxlü
or R (Rüvürsü) and any ýorward þüar in vühiclüs üquippüd with an automatic
transaxlü / dual clutch transmission. Do
not racü thü ünþinü, and spin thü whüüls as littlü as possiblü. Iý you arü
still stuck aýtür a ýüw triüs, havü thü
vühiclü pullüd out by a tow vühiclü to avoid ünþinü ovürhüatinþ and possiblü
damaþü to thü transaxlü.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engineover-heating, transaxle damage orfailure, and tire damage.
WARNING
nSpinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially atspeeds more than 56 km/h(35 mph). Spinning the wheels athigh speeds when the vehicle is sta‐tionary could cause a tire to over‐heat which could result in tire dam‐age that may injure bystanders.
