shifting into P (Park). This position locks
the transmission and prevents the front
wheels from rotating.

is in motion will cause the drive
wheels to lock which will cause you to
lose control of the vehicle and possi
-
bly damage the transmission.

place of the parking brake. Always
make sure the shift lever is latched in
the P (Park) position and set the park
-
ing brake fully.
僅 Never leave a child unattended in a
vehicle.
