Make sure the shift lever is
fully
into PARK
(P)
range
before starting the engine. Your Buick has
a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You must
fully
apply
your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK
(P)
when the ignition
is
in
RUN.
If
you cannot shift out
of
PARK
(P),
ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing
it
all the way into PARK (P) while keeping the brake pedal
pushed down. See “Shifting Out of PARK
(P)”
in
the Index.
REVERSE (R):
Use
this gear to back
up.
NOTICE:
_____~
~~ ~~ ~
Shifting to
REVERSE (R)
while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transaxle.
Shift to
REVERSE (R)
only after your vehicle
is stopped.
To
rock
your vehicle back and forth
to
get out
of
snow,
ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see
“Stuck:
In
Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow”
in
the
Index.
NEUTRAL (N):
In
this
position, your engine
doesn’t connect with the wheels.
To
restart when you’re
already moving, use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
Also, use
NEUTRAL
(N)
when your vehicle is being towed.
Shifting out of
PARK (P)
or
NEUTRAL
(N)
while
your engine
is
“racing” (running at high speed) is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or
objects. Don’t shift out
of
PARK
(P)
or
NEUTRAL
(N)
while your engine is racing.
NOTICE:
Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting out
of
PARK
(P)
or
NEUTRAL (N)
with the engine
racing isn’t covered by your warranty.
