There
are
several different positions for
your
shift
lever.
PARK
(P):
This
locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
I
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,

a
Trailer’’ in
