the selector lever button and move the
selector lever to a driving position.

WARNING
. Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D
(Drive) or L (Low). Always depress
the brake pedal until shifting is
completed. Failure to do so could
cause you to lose control and have
an accident.
. Cold engine idle speed is high, so
use caution when shifting into a
forward or reverse gear before the
engine has warmed up.
. Never shift to P (Park) or R (Re-
verse) while vehicle is moving. Fail-
ure to do so could cause you to lose
control and have an accident.
CAUTION
. Except in an emergency, do not shift
to the N (Neutral) position while
driving. Doing so can cause a loss
of engine braking which may result
in a collision, serious personal in-
jury or death. In addition, coasting
with the transmission in the N
(Neutral) position may cause ser-
ious damage to the transmission.
. When stopping the vehicle on an
uphill grade, do not hold the vehicle
by depressing the accelerator pedal.
The foot brake should be used for
this purpose.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.
