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.

engine is running. If you have left
the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others

always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park).
