There are several differe.nt positions for your shift lever.
.
P (Park). This locks your rear wheels.
It's
the best position to
use
when
you start your engine because your vehicle can't move easily,
it is dangerous to get out of
your
vehicle i f the shift lever
is
not. fully
p\
in P (Park)
with
the parking brake firmly set' Your veRicle
can roll.
Don't
ieave your vehicle when the engine is running
unless you
have
to. if you have left the engine running, the vehicle
can
muve
suddenly. You or others
could be
injured. To
be sure
your
vehic!e
won't move, when
you're
on fairly level ground, always set your
parking brake and
move the
shift lever to
P
(Park).
If you have
four-wheel drive, your
vehicle will be free to roll-even if
your shift lever is in P, (Park)-if your transfer case is in N
(Neutral).
So
be .sure the transfer case is in a drive gear-not in N (Neutral).
See "Shifting into P (Park)" in the Index. If you are parking on a hill,
or,
i f
you're
pulling a trailer,
also
see "Parking on
Hills"
or
"Towing a
Trailer" in
the
Index.
