5-20 Starting and driving
WARNING
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
. Never leave the vehicle in the
READY to drive mode while the
vehicle is unattended.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
. Safe parking procedures require
that both the parking brake be
applied and the vehicle placed in
the park position. Failure to do so
could cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly or roll away and result
in an accident.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Push the P position switch on the selector
lever.

the street when parked on a slope, it is a
good practice to turn the wheels as
illustrated.
