WARNING! (Continued)
•
Allowing children to be alone in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the park-
ing brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
•
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the transmission into the PARK posi-
tion:
•
When shifting into PARK, firmly move the shift lever
all the way forward and to the left until it stops and is
fully seated.
•
Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position.
•
With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever
will not move out of PARK.
CAUTION!
•
Before moving the shift lever out of PARK, you
must turn the ignition switch from the OFF posi-
tion to the ON/RUN position, and also press the
brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever
could result.
•
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this
can damage the drivetrain.
