Ensure the shift lever is
fully
in
the PARK
(P)
range
before starting the engine. Your Aurora has a
brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully
apply
your regular brakes
before
you can shift from PARK
(P)
when the ignition key is in RUN. If you cannot shift out
of
PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever
--
push the
shift lever all the way into PARK
(P)
and also release
the shift lever button on floor shift console models as
you maintain brake application. Then move the shift
lever into the gear you wish. (Press
the
shift lever button
before moving the shift lever on floor shift console
models.) See “Shifting Out
of
PARK
(P)”
in this section.
REVERSE (R):
Use this gear
to
back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to
REVERSE (R)
while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transaxle.
Shift to
REVERSE (R)
only after your vehicle
is stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and
forth
to
get
out
of snow,
ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see
“Stuck:
In
Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow” in the Index.
NEUTRAL
(N):
In
this
position, your engine
doesn’t connect with the wheels.
To
restart when you’re
already moving, use NEUTRAL
(N)
only. Also,
use
NEUTRAL
(N)
when your vehicle is being towed.
Shifting out
of
PARK (P)
or
NEUTRAL (N)
while
your engine is “racing” (running at high speed) is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly.
You
could lose control and hit people
or
objects. Don’t shift out of
PARK (P)
or
NEUTRAL
(N)
while your engine is racing.
I
NOTICE:
Damage
to
your transaxle caused by shifting
out
of
PARK
(P)
or
NEUTRAL (N)
with the engine
racing isn’t covered by your warranty.
