AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Move the shift lever into PARK only after the

vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Do not move the shift lever from REVERSE,

PARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when
the engine is above idle speed.

Before moving the shift lever into any gear, make

sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

NOTE:

You must press and hold the brake pedal down

while shifting out of PARK.

WARNING!

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 on the brake pedal,
the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and when your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal.
