Leaving
Your
Vehicle with the
Engine Running
(AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION)
A
CAUTION:
Xt
can
be
dangerous
to
leave your
vehicle with the engine running. Your
vehicle could move suddenly if the
shift
lever
is
not fully
in
“P”
(Park)
with the parking brake firmly set.
I€
YOU
have four-wheel drive
and
your
transfer case
is
in
“N”
(Neutral),
your vehicle
will
be
free
to
roll,
even
if your shift lever
is
in
“F‘”
(Park).
So
be
sure
the
transfer case is
in
a drive
gear
-
not in
“N’
(Neutral).
And,
if
you
leave
the
vehicle
with the
engine running, it
could
overheat and
even catch
fie.
You
or
others could
be
injured. Don’t leave your vehicle
with the engine running unless
you
have
to.
Torque
Lock
(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
If
you are parking on
a
hill
and you don’t
shift your transmission into “P” (Park)
properly, the weight
of
the vehicle may
put too much force
on
the parking pawl
in
the transmission. You may find
it
difficult
to
pull the shift
lever
out
of
“P” (Park).
This is called ”torque lock.” To prevent
torque lock, set the parking brake and
then shift into “P“ (Park) properly before
you
leave the driver‘s seat.
To
find
out
how, see “Shifting into
’P7
(Park)’‘
in
the
Index.
When you are ready
to
drive, move the
shift lever
out
of “P?’ (Park)
BEFORE
you
release the parking brake.
If
“torque lock” does occur,
you
may
need
to
have another vehicle push yours a
little uphill
to
take some of the pressure
from
the
transmission,
so
you can pull the
shift lever out of ’bP’’ (Park).
Shifting out
