WARNING
It can be dangerous to get out of
the vehicle if the automatic
transmission shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
firmly set. The vehicle can roll. Do
not leave the 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 the
vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park).
{
WARNING
Four-wheel drive vehicles with the
transfer case in N (Neutral) will
allow the vehicle to roll, even if
the automatic transmission shift
lever is in P (Park). So, be sure
the transfer case is in a drive
gear — not in N (Neutral). Always
set the parking brake.
Follow the proper steps to be sure
the vehicle will not move. See
Shifting Into Park on page 9‑33.
If pulling a trailer, see Driving
Characteristics and Towing Tips on
page 9‑80.
Automatic
Transmission
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information.
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission have an electronic shift
position indicator within the
instrument panel cluster. This
display comes on when the ignition
key is turned to the ON/RUN
position.
