Shifting
Into
PARK
(P)
r
It can be 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.
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, use the steps
that follow.
If’
you have four-wheel drive 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).
If
you’re
pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in
the Index.
