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).
CAUTION:
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.
Automatic Transmission Third Gear Hold
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, your range
selector has a “2

to the next higher gear when the transmission is in this
position unless your engine
-
governed speed is exceeded,
such as when going downhill.
This feature is useful for certain load and traffic
conditions or when plowing snow. See the Allison
Automatic Transmission Operator’s Manual in your
vehicle for further information.
