PARK

This range supplements the parking brake by locking the
transmission. The engine can be started in this range.
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 place the shift
lever in PARK first, and then apply the parking brake.

When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before
placing the shift lever in 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 move-
ment and possible injury or damage.

Your vehicle could move and injure you and others

if it is not completely 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.
