Always use the parking brake when

you park your vehicle. The indicator

on the instrument panel shows that

the parking brake is not fully

released; it does not indicate that the

parking brake is firmly set. Make

sure the parking brake is set firmly

or your vehicle may roll if it is

parked on an incline.

Set the parking brake before you put

the transmission in Park. This keeps

the vehicle from moving and putting

pressure on the parking mechanism

in the transmission making it

easier to move the shift lever out of

Park when you want to drive away.

If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn

the front wheels away from the curb.

If the vehicle is facing downhill, turn

the front wheels toward the curb.

Make sure the parking brake is fully

released before driving away.

Driving with the parking brake

partially set can overheat or damage

the rear brakes.

Make sure the moonroof and the

windows are closed.

Never park over dry leaves, tall

grass, or other flammable

materials. The three way catalytic

converter gets very hot, and could

cause these materials to catch on

fire.

Place any packages, valuables, etc.,

in the cargo area or take them

with you.

Turn off the lights.
