Automatic Transmission Operation
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
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 roII.
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.
