Shifting Into PARK (P)
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 won't move,
even when you're on fairly level ground, use
the steps that follow. If you have four-wheel
drive and your transfer case is in NEUTRAL
(N)
your vehicle will be free to roll, even if your shift
lever is in PARK (P). So, be sure the transfer cas6
is in
a
drive gear
--
not in NEUTRAL (N). If
you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing
a
Trailer" in
the Index.
