Transmission Gear Selector
GEAR RANGES
Do not press the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) into
another gear range.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The vehicle
propulsion system can be started in this range.
Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is
in motion. Apply the parking brake when exiting
the vehicle in this range.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake
before shifting the transmission to PARK. As an
added precaution, turn the front wheels toward
the curb on a downhill grade and away from the
curb on an uphill grade.
When exiting the vehicle, always:
Apply the parking brake.
Shift the transmission into PARK.
Turn the ignition OFF.
Remove the key fob from the vehicle.
NOTE:
This vehicle incorporates an Electric Park Brake
activation feature which engages automatically
when the vehicle is parked on a 9% sloped
surface, with the vehicle pointing up the grade
or down the grade.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK (P) position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the transmission gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
exiting the vehicle.
The transmission may not engage PARK if
the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before shifting to
PARK, and verify that the transmission gear
position indicator solidly indicates PARK
without blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK position
is properly indicated, before exiting the
vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal. The vehicle could accel-
erate quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
