AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - IF EQUIPPED

You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK.

• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL or DRIVE when the engine speed is above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly applying the brake pedal.

• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle to protect against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
• Your vehicle can move and cause injury to you or others if it is not in PARK. Check by attempting to move the shift lever out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.
• The transmission may not engage PARK if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting into PARK, and make sure the transmission gear position indicator firmly shows PARK (P) without flashing. Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped and PARK is properly indicated before leaving the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is above idle speed. If your foot is not firmly applying the brake pedal, the vehicle may accelerate quickly forward or backward. You may lose control of the vehicle and strike someone or something. Only shift into a gear when the engine is running normally at idle and your foot is firmly applying the brake pedal.
• Unintended vehicle movement can injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never leave the vehicle while the engine is running. Before leaving the vehicle, always come to a complete stop, then apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition to OFF. When the ignition is in OFF mode, the transmission is locked in PARK, protecting the vehicle from unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition is in OFF mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for many reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or gear shift lever.
• Do not leave the key fob inside or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
