Buick 2006 manual Reverse R Use this gear to back up

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever — push the shift lever all the way

into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-41.

{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 2-40. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-39.
