Automatic Transaxle Operation - Saturn 2005 Vue Owner's Manual

Automatic Transaxle Operation

If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle,
the shift lever is located on the console between
the seats.
PARK (P): This position locks your front wheels. It is
the best position to use when you start your engine
because your vehicle cannot move easily.
There are several different
positions for the automatic
transaxle.
CAUTION:
{
It is 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.
Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be injured. To
be sure your vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground, always set your
parking brake and move the shift lever to
PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P) (Automatic
Transaxle) on page 2-25. If you are pulling a
trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-55.
