Owner’s Manual

See “Range Selection Mode” later in this section.

PARK (P): This position locks your rear wheels. It is

the best position to use when you start the engine

because your vehicle cannot move easily. When parked

on a hill, especially when the vehicle has a heavy

load, you might notice an increase in the effort to shift

out of Park. See Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)

under Shifting Into PARK (P) on page 2-44 for more

information.

{CAUTION:

It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the

shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the

parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll.

Do not 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 will not move, even when

you are on fairly level ground, always set your

parking brake and move the shift lever to

PARK (P). See Shifting Into PARK (P) on

page 2-44. If you are pulling a trailer, see

Towing a Trailer on page 4-49.
