The following indicators should be used to ensure that you
have engaged the transmission into the PARK position:
When shifting into PARK, firmly move the shift lever
all the way forward and to the left until it stops and is
fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position (P).
With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever
will not move out of PARK.
CAUTION!
Before moving the gear selector/shift lever out of
PARK, you must turn the ignition switch from the
LOCK/OFF position to the ON/RUN position, and
also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to
the gear selector/shift lever could result.

CAUTION! (Continued)
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this
can damage the drivetrain.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged
periods with the engine running. The engine may be
started in this range. Apply the parking brake and shift
the transmission into PARK if you must leave the vehicle.
