Shifting Into Park (P); Column Shift Lever - GMC Jimmy 2004 Owner's Manual

Shifting Into Park (P)

CAUTION:
{
It can be 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.
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, use
the steps that follow. With four-wheel drive,
your vehicle will be free to roll — even if your
shift lever is in PARK (P) — if your transfer case
is in NEUTRAL. So, be sure the transfer case
is in a drive gear — not in NEUTRAL. See
Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-30. Always put the
shift lever fully in PARK (P) with the parking
brake firmly set. If you are pulling a trailer,
see Towing a Trailer on page 4-60.
