Selector lever positions
N00560600067
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to prevent the vehicle
from moving. The engine can be started from the “P” (PARK)
position.
“R” REVERSE
Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position, the transmission is disengaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on a manual transaxle and should be
used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of
time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and highway driving. The
transmission will automatically and continuously change its
gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION
!
● Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion,
the transmission may be damaged.
WARNING
!
● Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while driving since you could acci-
dentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position, damaging the transmission.
● To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on
a slope, the engine should be started in the “P”
(PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
● To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the
brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL)
position, or when shifting into or out of “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
