Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine

Running (Automatic Transmission)

{CAUTION:

It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle

with the engine running. Your vehicle could

move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in

PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set.

And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine

running, it could overheat and even catch ﬁre.

You or others could be injured. Do not leave

your vehicle with the engine running.

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running,

be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your parking

brake is ﬁrmly set before you leave it. After you have

moved the shift lever into PARK (P), hold down the

regular brake pedal. See if you can move the shift lever

away from PARK (P) without ﬁrst pulling it toward you.

If you can, it means that the shift lever was not fully

locked into PARK (P).

Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)

If you are parking on a hill and you do not shift your

transmission into PARK (P) 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 PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.”

To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then

shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s

seat. To ﬁnd out how, see “Shifting Into PARK (P)” listed

previously in this section.

When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of

PARK (P) 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 parking pawl, so you

can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).
