Leaving Your Vehicle With The Engine Running - Chevrolet TrailBlazer Owner's Manual

Leaving Your Vehicle With the
Engine Running
CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with
the engine running. Your vehicle could move
suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set.
If you have four-wheel drive, your vehicle
will be free to roll — even if your lever is in
PARK (P) — if your transfer case is in
NEUTRAL. So be sure the transfer case is in a
drive gear — not NEUTRAL. See Four-Wheel
Drive on page 2-27.
And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine
running, it could overheat and even catch fire.
You or others could be injured. Do not leave
your vehicle with the engine running unless
you have to.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your
parking brake is firmly set before you leave it. After
you have moved the shift lever into PARK (P), hold the
regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can
move the shift lever away from PARK (P) without first
pressing the button on the console shift lever. If you
can, it means that the shift lever was not fully locked
into PARK (P).
