Parking on a slope
The parking brake is located on the rear drive
shaft. When the drivetrain is in “2WD” mode,
only the rear wheels will be locked. Therefore,
switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK” before
stopping the engine to lock all four wheels
when parking. In addition to the parking
brake, leave the transmission in gear to help
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If you park on a hill that is too steep, the vehi-
cle may roll out of control. Never park on hills
that are so steep you cannot walk up them
easily. If you must park on an incline, follow
these instructions:
1. First, bring the vehicle to a stop and con-
tinue to apply the brake pedal.
2. Switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK”
and shift into first gear when parking up-
hill, or reverse gear when parking down-
hill.
TIP
You may need to turn the steering wheel left
and right to help the differential lock into pla-
ce.
3. Stop the engine (turn the key to “
”
[off]).
4. With the brake pedal still being applied,
set the parking brake.
5. Finally, get out of the vehicle and block
the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.
