Automatic Transaxle Operation The automatic transaxle may have a shift lever located either on the steering column or on the console between the seats. {CAUTION: It is 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. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 122. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 336. There are several different positions for the shift lever. PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because your vehicle cannot move easily. 118
