AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use the tow/haul feature when driving in icy
or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause

possible loss of vehicle control.

free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.
