then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could
make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak- ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.
l If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake fully
released, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-informa-tion display.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.Warning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2

To park the vehicle, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles equip-
ped with M/T, or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position for vehicles equipped with
A/T or CVT.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, followthese 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/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
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 1 st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, CVT,
be sure to apply the parking brake before
moving selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po- sition. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be difficult to disen-
gage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, re-
quiring application of a strong force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK)
position.

mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the
passenger compartment.

WARNINGl 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.
Do not keep the steering wheel
fully turned for a long time
More effort could be required to turn the
steering wheel.

l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l [For diesel-powered vehicles with M/T]
While the vehicle is stationary with the
clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revolutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm
in order to protect the engine even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNINGl Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.
