Other information:
When parking your vehicle, always perform
the following items.
Apply the parking brake firmly.
Put the select lever in the “P” position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of the
transmission alone to hold the vehicle.
When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel...
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and has
fully cooled down. When the engine
is hot, the coolant is under pressure.
Removing the cap while the engine
is still hot could release a spray of
boiling hot coolant, which could
burn you very seriously...
