AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
— IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•
Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
•
Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and
the engine is at idle speed.
•
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
•
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
WARNING!
•
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running.
•
Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission into
PARK, turn the engine off, and remove the
ignition key. Once the key is removed, the
shift lever is locked in PARK, securing the
vehicle
against unwanted movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and lock your vehicle.
•
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
•
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the shift lever.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Do not leave the ignition key/fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
•
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
hit someone or something. Only shift into
gear when the engine is idling normally
and your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to be
in PARK before the ignition switch can be turned
to the LOCK position. The key can only be
removed from the ignition when the ignition is in
the LOCK position, and once removed the
transmission is locked in PARK.
