It is dangerous to shift the automatic transmission out of parking position P or neutral position N if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.

Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

Keep in mind that turning off the engine alone only will shift the automatic transmission into neutral position N automatically.
Always shift the automatic transmission into park position P before turning off the engine.
Otherwise the vehicle could roll away which could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury.
