Shifting Into Park

Warning
Parking on grades with poor traction such
as ice, snow, mud, or gravel may cause
the vehicle to unintentionally move and
could result in injury, death, and/or
vehicle damage. If equipped with
four-wheel drive, use AUTO or 4 (HI) to
provide additional traction. Be sure to
apply the parking brake. See Electric
Parking Brake 0 235 and
Four-Wheel Drive 0 231.
Warning
It can be dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set.
The vehicle can roll. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be injured.
To be sure the vehicle will not move,
even when you are on fairly level ground,
use the steps that follow. With
four-wheel drive, if the transfer case is in
N (Neutral), the vehicle will be free to
roll, even if the shift lever is in P (Park).
Be sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear. If towing a trailer, see Driving
Characteristics and Towing Tips 0 263.
1. Hold the brake pedal down, then set the
parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake
0 235.
2. Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position by pulling the shift lever toward
you and moving it up as far as it will go.
3. Be sure the transfer case (if equipped) is
in a drive gear not in N (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition off. For Key Access,
push the ignition key in, towards the
steering column and then turn the
ignition off.
5. For Key Access, remove the key and take
it with you. If you can leave the vehicle
with the ignition key in your hand, the
vehicle is in P (Park).
For Keyless Access, take the remote key
with you.
