Automatic Transaxle Operation - Buick 2003 LeSabre Owner's Manual

Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your automatic transaxle has a shift lever located on
the steering column.
PARK
(P):
This position locks your front 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 if tne
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't 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 won't move, even
when you're on fairly level ground, always set
your parking brake and move the shift lever to
PARK (P). See "Shifting Into Park (P)" in the
Index. If you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a
Trailer" in the Index.
