If you're pulling a trailer, see"Towing a Trailer'' in the Index. Ensure the shift lever is fully in the PARK (P) range before starting the engine. Your vehicle has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply your regular brakes bcfore you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition key is in RUN. There areseveral different positions for your shift lever.
