Your
automatic transaxle
has
a shift lever located
on
the console between
the seats.
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.
A
CAUTION:
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.
