Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running. Take the key with when you leave
the vehicle. There is a serious risk of injury or
death because:
Children or other unauthorized persons
may attempt to operate the vehicle.
 Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the shift lever and accidently engage the
transmission.
 The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from moving.
Parking on a flat area
Even when parking on a seemingly flat area, it
is good practice to leave the transmission in
gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Therefore, shift into first or reverse gear, stop
the engine and always apply the parking
brake. Parking on a slope
The parking brake is loca
ted on the rear drive
shaft. When the drivetrain is in “2WD” mode,
only the rear wheels will be locked. Therefore,
switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK” before
stopping the engine to lock all four wheels
when parking. In addition to the parking
brake, leave the transmi ssion in gear to help
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If you park on a hill that is too steep, the vehi-
cle may roll out of control. Never park on hills
that are so steep you cannot walk up them
easily. If you must park on an incline, follow
these instructions: 1. First, bring the vehicle to a stop and con- tinue to apply the brake pedal.
2. Switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK”
and shift into first gear when parking up-
hill, or reverse gear when parking down-
hill.U2HC7ME0.book Page 16 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM
