Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine
Running
If yon have to leave your vehicle with the engine
running,
be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your
parking bralae is fdy set before you leave it. After
you’ve moved the shift lever into the PARK (I?)
position, hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if
you can muve the shift lever away from PARK (P)
without first pulling it tow& you (or, if you have the
console shift lever, without first pushing.the button). If
yuu c-an, it mema that the shift lever- w&snB t fully locked
into PARK (P).
Torque Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your
transaxle into
PARK (P) properly, the weight of the
vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl in
the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever out
of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.” To
prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift
into
PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s
seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting Into PARK (P)” in
the Index.
When
you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK
(P) before you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have
another vehicle
push yours a little uphill to take some of
the pressure from the transaxle. so you can pull the shift
lever out of PARK (P).

Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If
unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as
possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See “When it’s Time for New
Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires
on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
I 1 1 - I
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here. Don’t include
the compact spare tire in your tire
rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
Torque” in the
Index.
