Shifting Into
PARK
(P)
(Automatic
NOTICE:
Transmission Models Only)
Driving with the parking brake on can cause
your rear brakes
to
overheat. You may have
to
replace them, and you could also damage other
parts of your vehicle.
If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill,
see “Towing a Trailer” in the
Index.
That section shows
what to
do
first
to
keep the trailer from moving.
It can be 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.
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, use the steps
that follow.
If
you’re pulling a trailer, see
“Towing
a
Trailer” in the Index.
