P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before

To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see "Shift-Lock Release" section
in this chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the vehicle off.
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may cause you to
lose control of the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the shift lever is in P
(Park), apply the parking brake, and
turn the vehicle off.
• Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake.
• When parking on an incline, place
the shift lever in P (Park) and apply
the parking brake to prevent the
vehicle from rolling down.
• For safety, always engage the
parking brake with the shift lever in
the P (Park) position except for the
case of emergency parking.

Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you

Always depress the brake pedal when
you are shifting from N (Neutral) to

Do not shift into gear unless your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal. Shifting into
gear when the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to move
very rapidly. You could lose control of
the vehicle and hit people or objects.
