218 STARTING AND OPERATING • When shifting into P (Park), depress the button on the shift lever and firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops. • Look at the shift indicator window on the console to ensure it is in the P (Park) position. • When engaged in P (Park), you will not be able to move the shifter rearward without depressing the shift lever button. R (Reverse) For moving the vehicle rearward. Always stop before moving the lever to R (Reverse), except when rocking the vehicle. N (Neutral) Engine may be started in this position. WARNING! Do not coast in N (Neutral) and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle. CAUTION! Before moving the shift lever out of P (Park), you must turn the ignition from LOCK to ON so the steering wheel and shift lever are released. Otherwise, damage to the steering column or shifter could result.
