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 0 184.
Be sure the shift lever is in P (Park)
before starting the engine.
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. Fully apply the brakes and
then press the shift lever button
before shifting from P (Park) when
the vehicle is running. If the vehicle
cannot be shifted out of P (Park),
ease pressure on the shift lever and
push the shift lever all the way into
P (Park) as brake application is
maintained. Then press the shift
lever button and move the shift lever
into another gear. See Shifting out
of Park 0 185.

get out of snow, ice, or sand without
damaging the transmission, see If
the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 175.

not connect with the wheels. To

people or objects. Do not shift
into a drive gear while the engine
is running at high speed.
