Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) range before
starting the engine. Your Chevrolet has a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply
your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition key is in the RUN position. If you
cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift
lever
--
push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P)
and
also
release the shift lever button on floor shift
console models as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you wish. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.) See
"Shifting
Out of PARK (P)"
in the Index.
REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to REVERSE
(R)
while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transaxle.
Shift to REVERSE
(R)
only after your vehicle is
stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow,
ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see "If
You're Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow" in the Index.
NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine doesn't
connect with the wheels. To restart when you're
already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use
NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.
