Brake/Transmission Interlock System; Automatic Transmission With Overdrive - Jeep 2008 Wrangler Owner's Manual

Brake/Transmission Interlock System

This system prevents you from moving the shift lever out
of PARK and into any gear unless the brake pedal is
pressed. This system is active only while the ignition
switch is in the ON position. Always depress the brake
pedal first, before moving the shift lever out of PARK.

Automatic Transmission with Overdrive

Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE (or from P or
R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is
released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your
foot on the brake when moving the shift lever between
these gears.
