It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle .with the engine I-
running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if.the shift lever is
noi Eully in “P” (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. And, if

If you cannot shift out
of “P” (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) you maintain brake
application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want.

hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of “P” (Park), try this:
1. Turn the key to “Off.” Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer.
It
can damage your washer system and paint.

25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.
