Warning: Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running. If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle can move suddenly, which could result in personal injury or property damage.
Perform the following steps if you have to leave the cab with the engine running (for example, when checking the transmission fluid):
- Bring the vehicle to a complete stop using the service brake.
- Ensure that the engine is at low idle rpm.
- Depending on the series of transmission installed in the
vehicle, put the transmission in either:
-
Park (P);
-
Auto-Apply Parking Brake (PB); or
-
Neutral (N) if P or PB is not available.
-
- Apply the parking brake, if applicable, and make sure it is properly engaged.
- Slowly release the service brake.
- Chock the rear tires and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving.
