Advice when parking:

firmly as possible on slopes.
z Push key into ignition switch before
removing (vehicles with automatic
transmission 3: depress foot brake and
shift into P before removing key). Turn
steering wheel until lock is felt to engage
(anti-theft protection).
z If the vehicle is parked on a level surface
or a hill, select 1st gear before switching
ignition off (vehicles with automatic
transmission 3: move selector lever to P).
Also turn front wheels away from kerb if
parked on an uphill slope.
If the vehicle is parked on a downhill
slope, select reverse gear before
switching ignition off (vehicles with
automatic transmission 3: move selector
lever to P). Also turn front wheels
towards kerb.
z Switch off exterior lamps, otherwise the
headlamp warning device will sound
when the driver’s door is opened.
z Cooling fans may run on after the engine
has been switched off.
z Do not park on easily ignitable surfaces
as hot exhaust system temperatures
could cause the surface to ignite.

information for your first drive in
your Antara in brief.
Your vehicle has still more
instruments and controls,
possibly also optional equipment.
The remaining chapters of the
Owner’s Manual contain
important information on
