Parking
Winter Driving Instructions
If the vehicle is parked after being
driven on salt treated roads, the braking
efficiency should be tested as soon as
possible after driving is resumed while
observing the safety rules in the
previous paragraph.
Warning!
The most important rule for slippery or
icy roads is to drive sensibly and to
avoid abrupt acceleration, braking and
steering action. Do not use the cruise
control system under such conditions.
To reduce the risk of personal injury
as a result of vehicle movement,
before turning off the engine and
leaving the vehicle always:
Warning!
When the vehicle is in danger of
skidding move selector lever to
position "N". Try to keep the vehicle
under control by corrective steering
action.

Keep right foot on brake
pedal.
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
make sure that snow is kept clear of
the exhaust pipe and from around
the vehicle with engine running.
Otherwise, deadly carbon monoxide
(CO) gases may enter vehicle interior
resulting in unconsciousness and
death.
Firmly depress parking
brake pedal.
Move the selector lever to
position "P".
Road salts and chemicals can adversely
affect braking efficiency. Increased
pedal force may become necessary to
produce the normal brake effect. We
therefore recommend depressing the
brake pedal repeatedly when traveling
on salt-strewn roads at length. This can
bring road salt impaired braking
efficiency back to normal. A

Slowly release brake pedal.
Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
6.
Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
To assure sufficient fresh air
ventilation, open a window slightly
on the side of the car that is out of
the wind.
Important!
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the
vehicle. In addition, move selector
lever to position "P".
prerequisite is, however, that this is
possible without endangering other
drivers on the road.
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
