Automatic Transaxle Operation
PARK (P): This position locks your front wheels. It's the
best position to use when you start your engine
because your vehicle can't move easily.
There are several
different positions for
your 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.
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)" in the
Index. If you are pulling a trailer, see "Towing
a Trailer" in the Index.
