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).
Follow the proper steps to be sure
the vehicle will not move. See

If parking on a hill and pulling a
trailer, see

Automatic
Transmission
The automatic transmission has a
shift lever located on the console
between the seats.
The selected gear is also shown in
the instrument cluster.
P (Park):
This position locks the
drive wheels. It is the best position
to use when starting the engine
because the vehicle cannot move
easily.
