Parking
To park the vehicle, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1st or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles equipped with M/T, or set the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to “P” (PARK) position for vehicles equipped with a CVT or Twin Clutch SST.
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 side wheel 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 CVT or Twin Clutch SST, apply the parking brake and place the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) 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 1st position.
On vehicles equipped with a CVT or Twin Clutch SST, apply the parking brake and place the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Note
► If your vehicle is equipped with a CVT or Twin Clutch SST, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to the “P” (PARK) position. If you move the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be difficult to disengage the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong force to the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to move from the “P” (PARK) position.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while you take a short sleep/rest, or you open or close a gate or garage door, etc. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventilated place.
Warning
► Leaving the engine running risks injury or death from accidentally moving the gearshift lever (with a M/T or Twin Clutch SST) or the selector lever (with a CVT) or the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.
► Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors and the rear hatch when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
