and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the transmission gear
selector out of PARK with the brake
pedal released. Make sure the transmis-
sion is in PARK before exiting the ve-

• The transmission may not engage PARK
if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before shift-

remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.

• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition

could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

the following precautions are not ob-
served:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
