CAUTION

  • Try not to idle the vehicle at high speeds just before turning off the engine.

  • When the vehicle is parked on a slope, make sure the transmission is shifted into P (Park) for automatic transmission. For manual transmission, shift the transmission into 1 (First) gear on uphill grades, R (Reverse) on downhill grades and place chocks under the tyres.
