Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Parking/parking on hills

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.
- Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park) for
CVT models or in an appropriate gear
for manual transmission models. Failure
to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and result
in an accident. Make sure the shift
lever has been pushed as far forward as
it can go and cannot be moved without
depressing the foot brake pedal.
- Never leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended.
- Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in serious
accidents.
|
- Firmly apply the parking brake.
- Manual transmission models:
Place the shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.
When parking on an uphill grade, place
the shift lever in 1st gear.
Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models:
Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position.
- To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into
traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good
practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.
- HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB: 1
Turn the wheels into the curb and move the
vehicle forward until the curb side wheel
gently touches the curb.
- HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB: 2
Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
- HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB: 3
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road
so the vehicle will move away from the center
of the road if it moves.
- Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position
and remove the key.
Keep your engine tuned up.
Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure.
Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
