P (Park). This is because the
N (Neutral) position on the
transfer case overrides the
transmission. You or someone
else could be injured. If leaving
the vehicle, set the parking brake

When driving down a hill, keep
the vehicle headed straight

Apply the brakes lightly when

could lose control.

after stalling, set the parking
brake, shift into P (Park), and
turn the vehicle off.
