Automatic
Transmission
Operation
There
are several different positions
for
your shift lever.
PARK
(P):
This
locks
your
rear
wheels. It’s
the
best
position
to
use when you
start
your 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).
If
you
have four-wheel drive, your vehicle
will be free to roll
--
even
if
your
shift lever
is in
PARK
(P)
--
if your transfer case is in
NEUTRAL (N).
So,
be sure the transfer case is in
a
drive gear, two-wheel high
(2H),
four-wheel
high
(4H)
or four-wheel low
(4L)
e-
not in
NEUTRAL
(N).
See ‘(Shifting Into
PARK
(P)”
in
the Index. If you’re pulling
a
trailer, see “Towing
a
”railer” in
the Index.
