Owner's Manual

Automatic Transmission Operation
There
are
several different positions
for
your
shift
lever.
PARK
(P):
This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position to
use
when you
start
your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
It
is
dangerous to get out
or
your vehicle if the
shift lever is not fully in
PARK
(P)
with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave
your
vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to.
If
you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured.
To
be sure your
vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to
PARK (P).
See “Shifting Into
PARK (P)”
in the Index. If
you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing
a
Trailer” in
the Index.
