The shift lever has eight positions. It
must be in Park or Neutral to start
the engine. When you are stopped in
D , D , D , 2, 1, N or R, press firmly
on the brake pedal, and keep your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
You cannot shift out of Park with the
brake pedal depressed when the
ignition switch is in LOCK (0) or
ACCESSORY (I).
This position mechani-
cally locks the transmission. Use
Park whenever you are turning off or
starting the engine. To shift out of
Park, you must press on the brake
pedal and have your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot move the lever out of
Park, see Shift Lock Release on page
.
To avoid transmission damage, come
to a complete stop before shifting
into Park. The shift lever must be in
Park before you can remove the key
from the ignition switch.
