Your vehicle now features an electronic shift position
indicator within the instrument cluster. This display
must be powered anytime the shift lever
is
capable of
being moved out
of
PARK
(P).
This means that
if
your
key is
in
OFF,
rather than
LOCK,
there will be a
small
current drain
on
your battery which could discharge
your battery over a period
of
time. If you have a need to
leave your key in
the
ignition in
OFF
for an extended
period for any reason,
it
is recommended that you
disconnect the battery cable from the battery to prevent
discharging your battery.
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.

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)
or four-wheel
high
(4H)
or four-wheel low
(4L)
--
not in
NEUTRAL
(N).
See “Shifting Into PARK
(P)”
in
the Index.
If
you’re pulling
a
trailer, see “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index.
