354 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Remember to disconnect the engine block heater cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause electrocution. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NOTE: You must press and hold the brake pedal down while shifting out of PARK. WARNING! 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 on 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 on the brake pedal. CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Move the shift lever into PARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Do not move the shift lever from REVERSE, PARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed. • Before moving the shift lever into any gear, make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
