Driving your vehicle
Automatic transaxle operation
The automatic transaxle has six for-
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) posi-
tion.
The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “Shift-Lock Release” on
page 5-27.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
•
ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive)
or R (Reverse).
•
Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF
position.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed.
•
Do not use engine braking (shift-
ing from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.
