lever into PARK, the key may become trapped tempo-
rarily in the ignition switch lock cylinder. If this occurs,
place the shift lever in PARK, rotate the key to the right

number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the shift lever.
