Parking Your Car
Always engage the parking
brake and place the automatic
transmission selector lever in
"Park" position when leaving your
car unattended. Also with auto-
matic transmissions, never park
for prolonged periods with engine
idling and transmission in gear,
especially if your car is equipped
with air conditioning. This prac-
tice is detrimental to the trans-
mission, due to overheating.
