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 nor-
mally and your foot is firmly pressing the
brake pedal.
•
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,
and remove the ignition key. Once the
ignition key is removed, the shift lever is
locked in the PARK position, securing the
vehicle against unwanted movement.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
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. 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
injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the
shift lever.
•
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren. 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
OFF position 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.
The following indicators should be used to
ensure that you have engaged the shift lever
into the PARK position:
•
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 shift lever 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.
