WARNING! (Continued)
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren), and do not leave the ignition in the
ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Before moving the shift lever out of PARK,
you must start the engine and also press
the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the
shift lever could result.
• DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear
range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be used to
ensure that you have engaged the transmission
into the PARK position:
• When shifting into PARK, press the lock
button on the shift lever and firmly move the
lever all the way forward until it stops and is

• With brake pedal released, verify that the
shift lever will not move out of PARK.

This range is for moving the vehicle backward.
Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.

prolonged periods with the engine running. Ap-

WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off
the ignition to coast down a hill. These are
unsafe practices that limit your response to
changing traffic or road conditions. You might
lose control of the vehicle and have a colli-

CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for
any other reason with the transmission in
