Automatic Transaxle Operation; (Base Models) - Chevrolet Malibu 2007 Malibu Owner's Manual

Automatic Transaxle Operation

(Base Models)

PARK (P): This position locks your front wheels. It
is the best position to use when you start your
engine because your vehicle cannot move easily.
Your automatic transaxle
has a shift lever located
on the console between
the seats.
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.
Do not 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 will not
move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake
and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See
Shifting Into Park (P) on page 135. If you
are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer
on page 331.
