It can be 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’ve 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).
If
you
have four-wheel
drive
and
your
transfer
case
is
in NEUTRAL
(N),
your
vehicle will
be
free to
roll,
even
if
your shift lever
is
in
PARK
(P).
So,
be
sure
the
transfer case is in
a
drive
gear
--
not in NEUTRAL
(N).
Always set your parking brake. Follow
the
proper steps
to be sure
your
vehicle won’t move. See “Shifting Into
PARK
(P)”
in the Index.
If
you’re pulling
a
trailer, see “Towing
a
Trailer”
in
the Index.
