Automatic Transaxle Operation - Pontiac Vibe 2003 Owner's Manual

Automatic Transaxle Operation

PARK (P): This position locks your front wheels. It's
the best position to use when you start your engine
because your vehicle can't move easily.
2-22
There are several
different positions
for your 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.
Don't 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 won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
See "Shifting Into PARK (P)" in the Index.
If you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a Trailer"
in the Index.
