NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when
shifting from "Neutral" position
or "Park" position to a forward or
reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the
"ON" position and the brake pedal
fully depressed in order to move
the shift lever from the "P" (Park)
position to any of the other posi-
tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D" position to "P" po-
sition. The vehicle must be fully
stopped to avoid transaxle dam-
age.
NOTE:
o In sports mode, only the four
forward gears can be selected.
To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the "R"
or "P" position as required.
o In sports mode, downward shifts
are made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto-
matically selected.
o To maintain the required levels
of vehicle performance and
safety, the system may not ex-
ecute certain gearshifts when the
selector lever is operated.
o Before driving away from a stop
on a slippery road, push the se-
lector lever forward into the +(UP)
position. This causes the
transaxle to shift into 2nd gear
which is better for smooth driv-
ing away on a slippery road. Push
the selector lever to the -(DOWN)
side to shift back to 1st gear.

CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position
only when the vehicle has com-
pletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward
positions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R",
"D"position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking brake.
Always set the parking brake,
shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)
position and turn off the ignition
when you leave the vehicle, even
momentarily. Never leave the ve-
hicle unattended while the en-
gine is running.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may have
a tendency to roll backwards. Shift-
ing the shift lever into 2nd gear
while in sport mode will help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards.
