Leaving the Vehicle with the
Engine Running

{

Warning

It can be dangerous to leave the
vehicle with the engine running.
It could overheat and catch fire.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the 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. 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).

If you have to leave the vehicle with
the engine running, the vehicle must
be in P (Park) and the parking
brake set.

Release the button and check that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P (Park).

Torque Lock

Torque lock is when the weight of
the vehicle puts too much force on
the parking pawl in the
transmission. This happens when
parking on a hill and shifting the
transmission into P (Park) is not
done properly; then it is difficult to
shift out of P (Park). To prevent
torque lock, set the parking brake
and then shift into P (Park). To find
out how, see

Shifting Into Park

previously in this section.

If torque lock does occur, the
vehicle may need to be pushed
uphill by another vehicle to relieve
the parking pawl pressure, so you
can shift out of P (Park).
