Make sure the shift lever is fully into
PARK
(P)
range
before starting the engine. Your Chevrolet has a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You must fully apply
your
regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition is in RUN. If you cannot shift out of
PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing it
all the way into PARK
(P)
while keeping the brake pedal
pushed down. Release the shift lever button if you have
a console shift. Then move the shift lever out of PARK
(P),
being sure to press the shift lever button
if you have
a console shift. See "Shifting Out of
PARK (P)"
in the
Index.
REVERSE

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
"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.
NOTICE:
Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting out
of
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N) with the engine
racing isn't covered by your warranty.
