Mitsubishi Outlander: Parking
Parking on a slope
Fully engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on an uphill) or reverse (on a downhill) position on manual transmission vehicle. On automatic transmission vehicle, move the selector lever to “P” position. When parking on a hill, apply chocks to wheels for greater safety.
Parking with the engine running
Do not keep the engine running in a closed or poorly ventilated place. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless and extremely poisonous and dangerous.
Where you park
Do not park in a place where there are inflammable objects such as dry grass, leaves, etc... because the exhaust system with catalyst produces very high temperatures. This may cause a fire.
When leaving the vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.

Four-Cylinder Power (Or Lack Thereof)

automatic transmission, and the results are uninspiring, to say the least.
The biggest problem with the drivetrain is that acceleration isn't as

Using the gearshift lever (A) or the shift paddles (B), shifting can be performed
manually.
Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is depressed.
This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving, such as quick cornering, by nimbly
