Automi ic Transmission Operation 
There  are several different positions  for your shift lever. 
PARK (P): This  locks your  rear wheels.  It’s the best 
position to  use when  you start  your  engine  because your 
vehicle can’t move easily. 
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. 
Don’t  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  won’t  move,  even  when  you’re  on fairly 
level  ground, always set your  parking brake  and 
move  the shift lever  to 
PARK (P). 
See “Shifting  Into PARK (P)” in  the Index.  If 
you’re  pulling 
a trailer,  see  “Towing a Trailer”  in 
the  Index. 
Ensure  the shift lever is fully  in PARK (P) before 
starting the  engine. Your vehicle has 
a 
Brake-Transmission  Shift Interlock (BTSI).  You have to 
fully apply your regular brakes before  you can shift 
from  PARK  (P) when the ignition key is 
in RUN. If you 
cannot shift out of  PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift 
lever 
-- push the shift lever all the  way into PARK  (P) 
(press 
the button in on the  console  shift lever) as you 
maintain brake application.  Then move the shift lever 
into the gear 
you wish.  See “Shifting Out  of PARK (P)” 
in the Index. 
REVERSE  (R): Use this gear to back  up. 
NOTICE: 
Shifting  to REVERSE  (R) while your vehicle 
is  moving  forward could damage  your 
transmission. Shift  to 
REVERSE  (R) only 
after  your vehicle  is stopped. 
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out  of snow, 
ice  or sand without damaging  your transmission,  see 
“Stuck:  In Sand,  Mud,  Ice or Snow” 
in the  Index.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA) 
This  feature  allows  rear  seat  passengers  to listen  to  any

are  not  listening  to.  For  example,  rear  seat  passengers 
may  listen  to  a  cassette  tape  through headphones  while 
the  driver  listens  to  the  radio  through  the  front  speakers.
