Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in

motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the

vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift the

transmission into PARK first, and then apply the parking

brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before

shifting the transmission to PARK. As an added precau-

tion, 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 substitute for the

parking brake. Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard against vehicle move-
ment and possible injury or damage.

WARNING!

(Continued)

Your vehicle could move and injure you and others

if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the
shift lever out of PARK with the brake pedal
released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK
before leaving the vehicle.

It is dangerous to shift 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 your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
