Shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) while
your engine is “racing” (running at high speed)
is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly.

objects. Don’t shift
out of PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) while your engine is racing.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your transmission caused by shifting

20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This procedure
initialiLes
thc memory and erases any previous
settings tor all three channels.
