Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine

Running

{CAUTION:

It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with

the engine running. Your vehicle could move

suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in

PARK (P) 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

your vehicle with the engine running.

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running,

be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your parking

brake is ﬁrmly set before you leave it. After you’ve moved

the shift lever into the PARK (P) position, hold the regular

brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift

lever away from PARK (P) without ﬁrst pulling it toward

you (or, if you have the console shift lever, without ﬁrst

pushing the button). If you can, it means that the shift

lever wasn’t fully locked into PARK (P).

Torque Lock

If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your

transaxle into PARK (P) properly, the weight of

the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl

in the transaxle. You may ﬁnd it difficult to pull the

shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.”

To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and

then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the

driver’s seat. To ﬁnd out how, see Shifting Into Park (P)

on page 2-26.

When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of

PARK (P) before you release the parking brake

If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another

vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the

pressure from the parking pawl in the transaxle, so you

can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).
