STARTING AND OPERATING 187 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. 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. NOTE: Towing the vehicle, coasting, or otherwise driving with the transmission in N (Neutral) can cause severe damage to the transmission. WARNING!
