Automatic
Transaxle
Operation
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
PARK (P):
This locks your front 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).
See “Shifting Into
PARK (P)”
in the Index.
If
you’re pulling
a
trailer, see “Towing
a
Trailer”
in the Index.
Ensure the shift lever is fully in the PARK (P)
range before starting the engine. Your Aurora has a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully
apply
your regular brakes
before
you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition key is in the
RUN
position. If you
cannot shift out of PARK
(P),
ease pressure on the shift
lever
--
push
the
shift lever all the way
into
PARK
(P)
