four-wheel low (4L) — not in Neutral.

lever toward you and moving it up as far as it

Leaving the Vehicle With the Engine

Running (Automatic Transmission)

{ WARNING:

It can be dangerous to leave the vehicle with the

engine running. The vehicle could move suddenly

if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the

parking brake ﬁrmly set. And, if you leave the

vehicle with the engine running, it could overheat

and even catch ﬁre. You or others could be

injured. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine

running.

If you have to leave the vehicle with the engine running,

be sure the vehicle is in P (Park) and the parking

brake is ﬁrmly set before you leave it. After you have

moved the shift lever into P (Park), hold the regular

brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift

lever away from P (Park) without ﬁrst pulling it toward

you. If you can, the shift lever was not fully locked into

P (Park).
