There are several different positions for the
shift lever.
PARK (P): This position locks your rear wheels.
It is the best position to use when you start
your engine because your vehicle cannot
move easily.
When parked on a hill, especially when the vehicle
has a heavy load, you may notice an increase
in the effort to shift out of PARK (P). See Torque
Lock (Automatic Transmission) under Shifting
Into Park (P) on page 150 for more information.
{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.
Do not 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 will not
move, even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set your parking brake
and move the shift lever to PARK (P).
See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 150.
If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing
a Trailer on page 375.
