Leaving Your Vehicle with the
Engine Running
(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
If you have to leave your vehicle with the
engine running, be sure your vehicle is
in
“P’ (Park) and your parking brake is
firmly set before you leave it. After
you’ve moved the shift lever into the
“P’
(Park) position, hold the regular brake
pedal down. Then, see
if you can move
the shift lever away from “P” (Park)
without first pushing the button. If you can,
it means
that the shift lever wasn’t
fully locked into “P’ (Park).
Torque f Ock (AUTOMATIC
TRANS#lSSlON)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t
shift your transmission into “P” (Park)
properly, the weight of the vehicle may
put too much force on the parking pawl in
the transmission.
You may find it difficult
to pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).
This is called “torque lock.”
To prevent
torque lock, set
the parking brake and
then shift into “P” (Park) properly before
you leave the driver’s seat. To find out
how, see “Shifting Into “P” (Park)” in
the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the
shift lever out of “P” (Park)
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 transmission,
so you can pull the
shift lever out of “P” (Park).

Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by
turning the band with the wiper symbol
on it.
For a single wiping cycle,
turn the band tc
“MIST.” Hold it there until the wipers
start, then let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on “MIST” longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or
short delay between wipes. This can be
very useful
in light rain or snow. Turn the
band to choose the delay time. The closer
to
“LO,” the shorter the delay. For
steady wiping at low speed, turn the
band away from you
to the “LO’ position.
For high speed wiping, turn the band
further, to
“HI.” To stop the wipers, move
the band to “OFF.”
Heavy snow or ice can overload your
wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or
ice to prevent an overload.

driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go
closer to the floor. It may take longer to
stop. If the light is still on, or
if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is
flashing, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light” and “Towing Your
Vehicle”
in the Index.) The
brake system warning light
will also
come on when you set your parking
brake, and
it will stay on if your parking
brake doesn’t release
fully. If it stays on
after your parking brake is
fully released,
it means you have a brake problem.
A CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the brake system
warning light
is on. Driving with the
brake system warning light on can
lead to an accident. If &e light is still
on or if the anti-lock brake system
warning light is flashing after
you’ve
pulled off the road and stopped care-
fully, have the vehicle towed
for ser-
vice.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With anti-lock, this light will come on
when you start your engine and
it will
stay on for three seconds. That’s normal.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a
problem.
If the light flashes when you’re driving,
you don’t have anti-lock brakes and
there’s a problem with your regular
brakes. Pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go
closer to the floor. It may take longer to
stop. Have the vehicle towed for service.
