Ensure the shift lever
is
fully in
PARK
(P) range before
starting the engine. Your vehicle 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.) See “Shifting Out of
PARK
(P)”
in the Index.
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.
