Driving your vehicle
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
D (Drive)
(Continued)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4 (or 5)-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and power.
•
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.
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 section.
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.
•
Never leave a child unattended in
a vehicle.
N (Neutral)
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
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.
