Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed:
• Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE: You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK.
WARNING!
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As
with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running.
Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission
into PARK, and remove the ignition key. Once the ignition key is removed, the shift
lever is locked in the PARK position, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the ignition and lock your 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 a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key in or near the vehicle.
A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
