When parking on a level surface, you may
place the shift lever in the PARK position first,
and then apply the parking brake. When park-
ing on a hill, apply the parking brake before
placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the
load on the transmission locking mechanism
may make it difficult to move the shift lever out
of PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade
and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
WARNING!
•
Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
•
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not completely in PARK.
Check by trying to move the shift lever
rearward (with the brake pedal released)
after you have placed it in PARK. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
It is dangerous to move the shift lever 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 re-
verse. You could lose control of the vehicle
and hit someone or something. Only shift
into gear when the engine is idling normally
and when your foot is firmly pressing the
brake pedal.
•
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
•
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
shift lever.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•
Before moving the shift lever out of PARK,
you must turn the ignition switch from the
LOCK/OFF position to the ON/RUN posi-
tion, and also depress 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.
The following indicators should be used to
ensure that you have engaged the shift lever
into the PARK position:
•
When shifting into PARK, move the shift lever
all the way forward and to the left until it stops
and is fully seated.
