Automatic Transmission Operation

PARK (P): This position locks the transmission drive
shaft. It's the best position to use when you start the
engine because your vehicle can't move easily.
There are several different
positions for the shift lever.
CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
See "Shifting Into PARK (P)" in the Index. If
you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a Trailer" in
the Index.
Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before
starting the engine.
