“P” PARK
This
position locks the transmission to prevent 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 a transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is
the
same as the neutral position on a manual trans-
mission, and should only be used when the vehicle
is stationary for an extended 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
Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N”
(NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss
of control.
“D” DRIVE
This
position is for normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable gear ratio for
your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatically applied when nec-
essary, depending on road conditions.
CAUTION
l
Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid
transmission damage.
