Leaving the Vehicle with the Engine Running
WARNING
It can be dangerous to leave the vehicle with the engine running.
The vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park)
with the parking brake firmly set. And, if you leave the vehicle with the
engine running, it could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be
injured. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running.
If you have to leave the vehicle with the engine running, be sure the vehicle is in P (Park) and the parking brake is firmly set before you leave it. After you have moved the shift lever into P (Park), hold down the regular brake pedal.
See if you can move the shift lever away from P (Park) without first pulling it toward you. If you can, it means that the shift lever was not fully locked into P (Park).
