not
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.
NOTICE
When stopped  on an upgrade, do  not
the   vehicle    stationary    with
engine power.   Use  the service  brake
or the parking brake.
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.
hold
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.
Do  not  shift  from  N  (Neutral)  or P
(Park) into  D (Drive), or  R (Reverse)
when the engine is above idle  speed.
N (Neutral)
With the  gearshift in  the N  position, the
wheels and transaxle are not locked. The
vehicle will roll  freely even on  the slight-
est  incline unless  the  parking  brake  or
service brakes are applied.
Transaxle ranges
P (Park)
This position locks the transaxle and pre-
vents  the   front   wheels  from   rotating.
Always come  to a  complete stop before
shifting into this position.
•  Never leave a child  unattended in
a vehicle.
D (Drive)
This is  the  normal forward  driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4-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.
WARNING
NOTICE
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.
The  transaxle may  be  damaged  if you
shift into P (Park) while the vehicle is in
motion.
