NOTE:
• Never push the button for the range selector
lever movements indicated by the black arrows
( ) in the illustration. With the button pressed,
the lever could unexpectedly slip into the “P”,
“R”, “3” or “2” position.
• For safety, the range selector lever cannot be
moved out of the “P” position unless the brake
pedal is depressed. Even with the brake pedal
depressed, the range selector lever cannot be
moved if the starter switch is in the “LOCK” posi-
tion or “ACC” position.
If the range selector lever cannot be moved out of
the “P” position even with the starter switch in the
“ON” position and the brake pedal depressed, move
the range selector lever while pushing the shift lock
release knob.
This problem can be caused by an electrical fault,
so have an inspection carried out by an authorized
dealer.
2 Ranges
P: Used when stationary, for example, when start-
ing or warming up the engine. The starter key
can be removed with the range selector lever in
this position.
R: For backing up. The backup lamps illuminate,
and a warning buzzer sounds.
N: The engine can be started with the lever in this
position, but it is safer to use the “P” position.
D: For normal driving. With the overdrive switch in
the “ON” position, gearshifts are made automati-
cally using the 1st through 6th gears. With the
overdrive switch in the “OFF” position, gearshifts
are made automatically using the 1st through
4th gears.
3: Used when driving at low speeds or when pow-
erful engine braking is needed on a downhill
road. Gearshifts are made automatically
between the 1st through 3rd gears.
2: For driving on steep hills and through mud and
snow. This position provides the maximum
engine braking. Gearshifts take place automati-
cally using the 1st and 2nd gears.
