WARNING!
It can be dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow.

1. Hold the brake pedal down and set the parking brake.

See Parking Brake for more information.

2. Move the shift lever into P (Park) by pushing the lever all the way toward the front of the vehicle.

3. Turn the ignition off.
