“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTION
l
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNING
l
Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.
l
On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l
To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and
driving conditions.
CAUTION
l
To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
