Nissan Altima: 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
selector 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.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Manual transmission models:
Place the shift selector in the R (Reverse)
position. When parking on an uphill grade,
place the shift selector in 1st gear.
Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) models:
Move the shift selector to the P (Park) position.
3. 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.
4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position and remove the key.
Increasing fuel economy
● Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator position. ● Drive at moderate speeds on the highway. Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy. ...Power steering
