CAUTION! Do not park your vehicle over flammable materials, such as dry grass, scraps of paper or fabric.
To ensure safe parking, it is necessary to apply the parking brake and engage the gear correctly.
1. Pull the parking brake lever up firmly.
2. For models with manual transmission: Place the gearshift lever in reverse (rEVERSE position). When parking on an upward slope, set the lever to first gear.
For models with automatic transmission: Place the gearshift lever in the "P" (Park) position.
CAUTION! This parking method prevents excessive pressure on the drive axle, which may cause difficulty when changing gear from the "P" position. Move the gearshift lever forward as far as possible and make sure that it can be changed to any other position only after pressing the button on the lever handle.
3. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position and remove it.
CAREFULLY!
- It is prohibited to leave the car with the engine running.
- Children should not be left unattended in the car.
When parking on a slope, turn the wheels so that if the car suddenly starts moving, it does not roll onto the roadway.
(1) ON A DOWNSLOPE: Turn the wheels toward the curb and, releasing the brakes, allow the car to roll forward until the wheel touches the curb. Then set the parking brake.
(2) ON UPWARD SLOPE: Turn the wheels away from the curb and, releasing the brake pedal, allow the car to roll backward until the wheel touches the curb. Then set the parking brake.
(3) ON AN UPWARD OR DOWNWARD SLOPE WITHOUT A CURB: Turn the wheels toward the shoulder so that when moving, the car will move away from the center of the road. Then set the parking brake.
Precautionary measures
When leaving your car in the parking lot:
- Always take the ignition key with you, even when the car is left in the garage.
- Close all windows completely and lock all vehicle doors.
- Park your car where it will be clearly visible. At night, park your car in illuminated areas.
- Turn on the anti-theft alarm or immobilizers even if you leave the car only for a short time.
- Do not leave children or pets unattended in the vehicle.
- Don't leave valuables in plain sight. Take them with you or lock them in the trunk.
- Do not leave the registration certificate or other documents in the car. If the car is stolen, these documents will help the thief sell it.
- Do not leave items on the roof rack. Lock them in the trunk or leave them in the passenger compartment.
- Don't leave a spare key in your car. Keep it in a safe place at home.
- Do not leave the tag with the key number in the car. A thief can get into the car and, having learned the key number, subsequently steal the car using the duplicate he made.
