Stopping the vehicle

2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position (Automatic transmission models). Move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) gear (Manual transmission models).
4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic, and to signal professional road assistance personnel that you need assistance.

WARNING
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and the manual transmission is shifted into R (Reverse), or the automatic transmission into P (Park).

• Never change tires if oncoming traffic is close to your vehicle. Wait for professional road assistance.
