Shifting Into Park (P) - GMC Envoy 2003 Owner's Manual

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can
cause your parking brake to overheat. You may have
to replace them, and you could also damage other
parts of your vehicle.
If you are towing a trailer and you must park on a hill,
see Towing a Trailer on page 4-50 . That section
shows what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.

you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a Trailer"
in the Index.
