It
can be 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. 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,
use the steps that follow. If you’re pulling a
trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.
1.
Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and
set the parking brake by pushing down the parking
brake pedal with your left foot.
3.

to
OFF.
4.
Remove the key and take it with you. If you can
leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your
hand, your vehicle is in
PARK
(P).
