CAUTION!

Before moving the gear selector out of PARK, you

must start the engine and also press the brake
pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear selector could
result.

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this
can damage the drivetrain.

NOTE:

On vehicles equipped with the electronically

shifted transfer case, ensure that the transfer case is in
AWD AUTO or LOW RANGE position on the AWD
Control Switch. Ensure that the NEUTRAL position light
is NOT illuminated.

The following indicator should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the transmission into the PARK posi-
tion:

• With brake pedal released, look at the transmission

gear position display and verify that it indicates the
PARK position.

REVERSE (R)

This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.

NEUTRAL (N)

Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged
periods with the engine running. The engine may be
started in this range. Apply the parking brake and shift
the transmission into PARK if you must leave the vehicle.
