Running Your Engine While You’re Parked
(Automatic Transmission)
It’s better
not
to park with
the
engine running. But
if
you ever have
to,
here
are some things to know.
A
CAUTION:
_-i
.
..
If you have four-wheel drive
with
a manual transfer case shift lever
and
your transfer case
is
in
NEUTRAL
(N),
your vehicle will be free
to
roll,
even
if
your shift lever is
in
PARK (P).
So,
be sure the transfer case is
in
a
drive gear
-
not
in
NEUTRAL (N). Always set your parking brake. Follow
the
proper steps
to
be sure your vehicle won’t move. See “Shifting Into
PARK
(P)”
in
the Index.
If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer”
in
the Index.
