Parking

Always use the parking brake when

you park your car. The indicator on

the instrument panel shows that the

parking brake is not fully released; it

does not indicate that the parking

brake is firmly set. Make sure the

parking brake is set firmly or your

car may roll if it is parked on an

incline.

If the car is facing uphill, turn the

front wheels away from the curb and

put the transmission in first gear.

If the car is facing downhill, turn the

front wheels toward the curb and put

the transmission in reverse gear.

Make sure the parking brake is fully

released before driving away.

Driving with the parking brake

partially set can overheat or damage

the rear brakes.

Parking Tips

Make sure the convertible top and

the windows are closed.

Turn off the lights.

Place any packages, valuables, etc.,

in the trunk or take them with you.

Lock the doors with the key or the

remote transmitter.

Never park over dry leaves, tall

grass, or other flammable

materials. The three way catalytic

converter gets very hot, and could

cause these materials to catch on

fire.
