Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal injury.
Never get out of the driver's seat while the engine is running,
especially when the transmission is in a drive gear. If you must
leave your vehicle while the engine is running, always set the
parking brake and shift the transmission into Park (P).
Never leave the vehicle in Neutral (N). It will roll down hills,
whether the engine is running or not.
When the engine is running and a drive gear - Drive or Sport
Drive (D/S) or Reverse (R) - has been selected, press and
hold the brake pedal to keep the vehicle from moving. The
vehicle may creep and move forward or backward even if the
engine is idling slowly.
Never shift into Reverse (R) or Park (P) when the vehicle is
moving.
