Mexico-13566622) - 2020 - CRC - 4/24/19
216 Driving and Operating
Running the Vehicle
While Parked
It is better not to park with the
engine running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine
running, follow the proper steps to
be sure the vehicle will not move.
See Shifting Into Park 0 212 and
Engine Exhaust 0 215.
If parking on a hill and pulling a
trailer, see Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips 0 262.
Automatic
Transmission
There is an electronic shift lever
position indicator within the
instrument cluster. This display
comes on when the ignition is on or
in ACC/ACCESSORY.
There are several different positions
for the shift lever.
See “Range Selection Mode” under
Manual Mode 0 219.
P : This position locks the drive
wheels. Use P (Park) when starting
the engine because the vehicle
cannot move easily. When parked
on a hill, especially when the
vehicle has a heavy load, you might
notice an increase in the effort to
shift out of P (Park). See “Torque
Lock” under Shifting Into Park
0 212.
{
Warning
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).
See Shifting Into Park 0 212 and
Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips 0 262.
