Automatic Transmission
Park warning light
(
model)
WARNING
• If the ATP light is on, this indicates
that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and
the transfer case is in N (Neutral).
• When parking, always make sure that
the 4WD shif t indicator light illumi-
nates and the parking brake is set.
Failure to engage the transfer posi-
tion in 2WD, 4H or 4LO could result in
the vehicle moving unexpectedly, re-
sulting in serious personal injury or
property damage.
• Shif t the 4WD switch into the 2WD, 4H
or 4LO position again to turn off the
ATP warning light when the shif t le-
ver is in the P (Park) position and the
ATP warning light is on. (Before shif t-
ing the 4WD switch into the 4LO posi-
tion, move the shif t lever into the N
(Neutral) position once, shif t the shif t
lever into P (Park) again and make
sure the ATP warning light is off.) If the 4WD mode indicator is off or the ATP
warning light is on, this indicates that the
automatic transmission P (Park) position
will not function and could result in the ve-
hicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage.
Always set the parking brake. For additional
information, see “Using 4–Wheel Drive
(4WD) (P. 5-109).
This light indicates that the automatic
transmission parking function is not en-
