PARK
(P):
This position 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..
If
you’re pulling
a
