Gearshift lever positions (Main shift gate)

This position locks the transmission to prevent the vehicle

from moving. The engine can be started from the "PARK"

Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come

to a complete stop.

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.

At this position, the transmission is disengaged. It is the same

N00540100011

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.

Never move the gearshift lever to the "N" (NEU-

TRAL) position while driving since you could acci-

"R"(REVERSE) position and the engine speed

could rise, damaging the transmission.

To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on

a slope, the engine should be started in the "P"

(PARK) position.

Although the engine can be started when the vehicle

is in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position, for safety rea-

sons, do not start the engine in the "N" (NEUTRAL)

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the

vehicle is in "N" (NEUTRAL) position, or when

shifting into or out of "N" (NEUTRAL) position, to

prevent rolling.
