N N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto-
matically shift to the appropriate gear
position upon operation of the accel-
erator pedal and variation of vehicle
speed.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator further until you feel
the transmission downshift to a lower
gear.
When starting off on an uphill
• Engage the parking brake firmly to
prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards.
• Move the shift lever to D (Drive)
position while depressing the
brake pedal. Make sure that the
shift indicator in the cluster dis-
plays 1st gear.
• Take your foot of the brake pedal
and depress the accelerator pedal
gradually. Then, when the vehicle
starts moving, release the parking
brake and depress the accelerator
pedal.
When starting off on a downhill
• Depress the brake pedal and move
the shift lever to D (Drive) position.
Make sure that the shift indicator in
the cluster displays 1st gear.
• Take your foot off the brake pedal and
slowly depress the accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle speed increases,
the clutch will be engaged.
• If the gear is not shifted after
changing the shift lever from N
(Neutral)
to D (Drive)/M
(Manual)/R (Reverse), try to shift
the gear again. In this case, time
delay and intermittent noise may
occur which are normal.
• Always come to a complete stop
and depress the brake pedal
before shifting into D (Drive) posi-
tion .
• When moving from R (Reverse) to
D (Drive) position, the gear is not
shifted if the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h.
• Depress the brake pedal fully. If
not, the brake press indicator will
illuminate and the gear is not shift-
ed.

Do not shift into gear unless your
foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Shifting into gear when the engine
is running at high speed can
cause the vehicle to move very
rapidly. You could lose control of
the vehicle and hit people or
objects.
