Gear Ranges

PARK
This range supplements the parking brake by locking the

transmission. The engine can be started in this range.

Never use PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply

the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range.

When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the

PARK position first, and then apply the parking brake.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking

brake before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise

the load on the transmission locking mechanism may

make it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK. As

an added precaution, 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 movement and
possible injury or damage.
