Shifting Into PARK (P)

CAUTION:

It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if
the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. If
you have left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You or others could be injured.
To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when
you’re on fairly level ground, use the steps that
follow. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a
Trailer” in the Index.

set the parking brake by pushing down the parking
brake pedal with your left foot.

of your vehicle.

3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK.

leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your
hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P).
