AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNINGS
Always fully apply the parking brake
and make sure you shift into park (P).
Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.
Do not use tow/haul or engine
braking when driving in icy or slippery
conditions as the increased braking
can cause the rear wheels to slide and your
vehicle to swing around with the possible
loss of vehicle control.
Note: Under certain conditions, you may
not be able to shift out of park (P) unless
the intelligent access key is inside the
vehicle.
