Automatic Transmission Operation
There are several different positions for your shift lever.
Your vehicle now features an electronic shift position
indicator within the instrument cluster. This display
must be powered anytime the shift lever is capable of
being moved out
of
the
PARK
(P)
position. This means
that if your key is in the
OFF
position, rather than the
LOCK
position, there will be a small current drain on
your battery which could discharge your battery over a
period
of
time.
If
you have a need to leave your key in
the ignition in the
OFF
position for an extended period
for any reason, it
is
recommended that
you
disconnect
the battery cable from the battery to prevent discharging
your battery.
PARK (P):
This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start your engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
A
CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to.
If
you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won’t move, even when you’re
on
fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
CAUTION: (Continued)
