Chrysler 1500 Owner's Manual page 381

WARNING! (Continued)
Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle
has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle
speed.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,
or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if
the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your
foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the
vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re-
verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you
should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When
the ignition is in the full OFF (key removal) position,
the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the
vehicle against unwanted movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob
and lock your vehicle.
