on
the
steering column.
There are several different
positions for the shift lever.
c
PARK
(P):
This locks the front wheels. It’s the best
position to
use
when you start the engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
A
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.
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.

you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing
a
Trailer” in
