WARNING

If the lock button is always pushed to op-

erate the selector lever, the lever may be

accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)

or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not

to push the lock button when performing

the operations indicated by in the illus-

tration.

Always depress the brake pedal

when

shifting the selector lever into a gear

from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-

TRAL) position.

When beginning to drive, do not shift the

selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or

“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress-

ing the accelerator pedal, doing so is dan-

gerous because the vehicle will “jump” for-

ward or backward.

Selector lever position indicator

E00603500726

When

the

ignition

switch

turned to the “ON” po-

sition, the currently position of the selector lever is

indicated by the indicator (A) shown on the instru-

ment cluster {i.e. “P” (PARK), “R” (REVERSE),

“N” (NEUTRAL), “D” (DRIVE)}.

Selector lever positions (Main gate)

E00603800585

“P” PARK

This position locks the transmission

to prevent the

vehicle from moving. The engine can be started in

this position.

“R” REVERSE

This position is to back up.

CAUTION

Never shift into the “P”

(PARK) or “R”

(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is

in motion to avoid a transmission damage.

“N” NEUTRAL

At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is

the

same as the neutral

position on a M/T, and

should only be used when the vehicle is stationary

for an extended length of time during driving, such

as in a traffic jam.

WARNING

Never move the selector lever

to the “N”

(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-

rious accident could occur since you

could accidentally move the lever into the

“P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position

or you will lose engine braking.

On a gradient the engine should be star-

ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the

“N” (NEUTRAL) position.

Always keep your right foot on the brake

pedal when shifting into or out of “N”

(NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss

of control.

“D” DRIVE

This position is for normal

driving. The transmis-

sion automatically selects a suitable gear ratio for

your speed and acceleration.

CAUTION

Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) posi-

tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position

while the vehicle is in motion to avoid

transmission damage.
