Parking brake
Warning! G
With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and the
steering system. In this case, it is important
to keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.
Warning! G
Do not park this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as grass, hay or
leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system, as these materials could be
ignited and cause a vehicle fire.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the vehicle drivetrain as a result
of vehicle movement, before turning off the
engine and leaving the vehicle always:
ț Keep right foot on brake pedal.
ț Pull the parking brake lever up as many
notches as possible.
ț Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
ț Slowly release brake pedal.
ț When parked on an incline, turn front
wheels towards the road curb.
ț Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch
position 0 and remove.
ț Take the SmartKey with you and lock
vehicle when leaving.
Warning! G
Engaging the parking brake while the vehicle
is in motion can cause the rear wheels to
lock up. You could lose control of the vehicle
and cause an accident. In addition, the
vehicle’s brake lights do not light up when
the parking brake is engaged.
