Leaving Your Vehicle
With
the Engine
Running (Automatic Transmission Only)
It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the
engine running. Your vehicle could move
suddenly if the shift lever is not fully
in
PARK
(P)
with the parking brake firmly set. And, if you
leave the vehicle with the engine running, it could
overheat and even catch fire. You or others could
be injured. Don’t leave your vehicle with the
engine running unless you have to.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine
running,
be
sure your vehicle is in PARK
(P)
and your
parking brake is firmly
set
before you leave it. After
you’ve moved the shift lever into PARK (P), hold the
regular brake pedal down. Then, see if
you
can move the
shift lever away from
PARK
(P)
without first pulling it
toward
you
(or pressing the button on a console shift
lever).
If
you
can,
it
means that the shift lever wasn’t
fully locked into PARK (P).
