On
vehicles with A/T, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.

Parking brakeE00600501562
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
(on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) position for vehicles with manual transmission or set
the selector lever to “P” (PARK) position on automatic transmission vehicles.CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
l 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.
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-08.Type 1
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
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.
Type 2

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 andmove the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position (with
M/T ) or the selector lever into the “P”
(PARK) position (with A/T).
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.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift
lever into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion. If you move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying theparking 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.
Parking with the engine run-
ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (on M/T vehicles) or the se- lector lever (on A/T vehicles) or the accu-
mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the
passenger compartment.
