Shifting Into Park (P); Column Shift Lever - Chevrolet 2004 Blazer Owner's Manual

Shifting Into Park (P)

CAUTION:
{
It can be 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. 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, use the steps that follow. With
four-wheel drive, your vehicle will be free
to roll — even if your shift lever is in
PARK (P) — if your transfer case is in
NEUTRAL. So, be sure the transfer case is in a
drive gear — not in NEUTRAL. See Four-Wheel
Drive on page 2-29. Always put the shift lever
fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly
set. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a
Trailer on page 4-60.
