Driving your vehicle

Transmission ranges

P (park)

Always come to a complete stop before

shifting into P. This position locks the

transmission and prevents the front

wheels from rotating.

R (reverse)

Use this position to drive the vehicle

backward.

N (neutral)

The wheels and transmission 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 transmission will automatically

shift through a 4-gear sequence, provid-

ing the best fuel economy and power.

For extra power when passing another

vehicle or climbing grades, depress the

accelerator fully, at which time the trans-

mission will automatically downshift to

the next lower gear.

(Continued)

• 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.

• Never leave a child unattended in

a vehicle.

is latched in the P (Park) position

so that it cannot be moved unless

the lock release button is pushed
