- The select lever is in a position other than the “P” position (AT models).

- The parking brake is fully released.

- The light switch is in the “OFF” or “position.” position.

NOTE
When the light switch is in the “position, the front side marker lights,” position, the front side marker lights, tail lights and license plate lights are also illuminated.
