dren), and do not leave the ignition in the

erate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

following precautions are not observed:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only

played both on the gear selector and in the
instrument cluster.

driving), the position indicator will blink con-
tinuously until the selector is returned to the
proper position, or the requested shift can be
completed.
