Driving your vehicle

Transaxle ranges

P (park)

Always come to a complete stop before

shifting into P (Park). This position locks

the transaxle and prevents the front

wheels from rotating.

R (reverse)

Use this position to drive the vehicle

backward.

N (neutral)

The wheels and transaxle are not locked.

The vehicle will roll freely even on the

slightest incline unless the parking brake

or service brakes are applied.

D (drive)

This is the normal forward driving posi-

tion. The transaxle will automatically shift

through a 5-gear sequence, providing the

best fuel economy and power.

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or climbing grades, depress the

accelerator fully, at which time the

transaxle will automatically downshift to

the next lower gear.

✽

NOTICE

Always come to a complete stop before

shifting into D (Drive).

(Continued)

• Never leave a child unattended in

a vehicle.

CAUTION

The transaxle may be damaged if

you shift into P (Park) while the

vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION

Always come to a complete stop

before shifting into or out of R

(Reverse); you may damage the

transaxle if you shift into R while

the vehicle is in motion, except as

explained in “Rocking the Vehicle”,

in this manual.

WARNING

• Shifting into P (Park) while the

vehicle is in motion will cause the

drive wheels to lock which will

cause you to lose control of the

vehicle.

• Do not use the P (Park) position

in place of the parking brake.

Always make sure the shift lever

is latched in the P (Park) position

so that it cannot be moved unless

the lock release button is pushed

in, AND set the parking brake

fully.

• Before leaving the driver’s seat,

always make sure the shift lever

is in the P (PARK) position. Set

the parking brake fully, shut the

engine off and take the key with

you. Unexpected and sudden

vehicle movement can occur if

you do not follow these precau-

tions in the order specified.
