Chevrolet 2001 manual Shifting Into Park P Automatic Transmission Only, Column Shift Lever

Shifting Into PARK (P) (Automatic Transmission Only)

CAUTION:

It can be 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. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. With four-wheel drive, your vehicle will be free to roll --even if your shift lever is in PARK (P) --if your transfer case is in NEUTRAL. So be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear --not in NEUTRAL. See ªFour-Wheel Drive (Automatic Transfer Case)º in the Index. Always put the shift lever fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. If you're pulling a trailer, see ªTowing a Trailerº in the Index.
