your shift lever.

This locks your rear wheels. It’s the
best position to use when you start your
engine because your vehicle can’t move
easily.

It can be dangerous
to
get out
of your vehicle if the shift
lever is not
fully
in
P
(Park) with
the
parking brake firmly set. Your
vehicle could roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the
engine is running unless you have
to. If you have ieft the engine
running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be
injured. To be sure your vehicle
won’t
move, when you’re on fairly
level ground, always set your
parking brake and move the shift
lever
to
P
(Park).
If you have four-wheel drive, your
vehicle will be free to roll
-
even
if
your shift lever is in
P
(Park)
-

if
your transfer case is
in
N
(Neutral).
So,
be sure the
transfer case is
in
a drive gear
-
not
in
N
(Neutral).

P
(Park)’’ in

you
cannot shift out
of
P
(Park), ease
