FORD 2002 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 153)

Understanding gearshift positions
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). Make
sure the gearshift lever is securely
latched in P (Park). This locks the
transaxle and prevent the front
wheels from rotating.
Always set the parking
brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P
(Park). Turn the ignition to the
LOCK position and remove the
key whenever you leave your
vehicle.
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R
(Reverse), the vehicle will move
backward. You should always come
to a complete stop before shifting
into and out of R (Reverse).
