Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged

periods with the engine running. The engine may be

started in this range. Apply the parking brake and shift

the transmission into PARK if you must leave the vehicle.

vehicle and have a collision.

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other

reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause

severe transmission damage. Refer to "Recreational

Towing" in "Starting And Operating" and "Towing A

Disabled Vehicle" in "What To Do In Emergencies"

for further information.
