1. Shift the select lever into the “P” position for AT and CVT models or the shift lever into “1st” for MT models.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Secure the vehicle onto the carrier properly with safety chains. Each safety chain should be equally tightened and care must be taken not to pull the chains so tightly that the suspension bottoms out.
