The following indicators should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the shift lever in the PARK position:

• When shifting into PARK move the shift lever all the

way forward and left until it stops and is fully seated.

• Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument

panel to ensure it is in the PARK position.

REVERSE
This range is used for moving the vehicle rearward.
Always stop before moving the shift lever to REVERSE.

CAUTION!

Damage to the shifter could result if the shift lever is
moved out of PARK before the ignition switch is
turned from the LOCK to the ON position.

NEUTRAL
This range is used when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine
may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you
must leave the vehicle.

CAUTION!

Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason
with shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmis-
sion damage.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
practices that limit your response to changing traffic
or road conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have an accident.
