Parking the car

To park the car safely the first gear or reverse gear must be engaged, and if the road slopes, engage the hand brake also.
When the engine is switched off (key on STOP) with the vehicle facing uphill and the gear engaged, you must wait until the gears display on the on-board panel switches off before releasing the brake pedal, so that the clutch is fully closed.
If the idle gear is engaged and you want to engage a parking gear, you must start the system (key ON) and with your foot on the brake pedal engage the first gear or reverse gear.
