The shift lever is located on the center console between
the front seats.
PARK (P): This position locks the rear wheels.

engine because your vehicle cannot move easily.

There are several different
positions for the shift lever.
CAUTION:
{
It is 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.
Do not 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 will not move, even
when you are on fairly level ground, always
set your parking brake and move the shift
lever to PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P)
on page 2-30. If you are pulling a trailer, see
Towing a Trailer on page 4-52.
