Selector lever positions (Main gate)
E00603800439
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to prevent the vehicle
from moving. The engine can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is the same as
the neutral position on a manual transmission, and should only
be used when the vehicle is stationary for an extended length of
time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The transmission automati-
cally selects a suitable gear for your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatically applied when necessary,
depending on road conditions.
CAUTION
!
●
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion
to avoid a transmission damage.
WARNING
!
● Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while driving. A serious accident
could occur since you could accidentally move the
lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) posi-
tion or you will lose engine braking.
●
On a gradient the engine should be started in the
“P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
●
Always keep your right foot on the brake pedal
when shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to
minimize the risk of loss of control.
CAUTION
!
●
Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the
“R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid a transmission damage.
