P (Park)
This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine.
In this position, the transmission is me-
chanically locked to prevent the vehicle
from rolling freely.
When you park the vehicle, first apply the
parking brake, then shift into the
“
P
”
position. Do not hold the vehicle with only
the transmission.
To shift the selector lever from the
“
P
”
position to any other position, you have to
depress the brake pedal fully then push
the release button on the selector lever
when the ignition switch is in the
“
ON
”
position. This prevents the vehicle from
lurching when it is started.
!
R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle.
To shift from the
“
N
”
to
“
R
”
position, stop
the vehicle completely then move the
lever to the
“
R
”
position while pushing
the release button.
When the ignition switch has been turned
to the
“
LOCK
”
/
“
OFF
”
position, movement
of the select lever from the
“
N
”
to
“
R
”
position is possible for a limited time
period by depressing the brake pedal,
and then it becomes impossible. For

N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled

In this position the wheels and transmis-
sion are not locked. In this position, the
transmission is neutral; the vehicle will roll
freely, even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or foot brake is applied.
Avoid coasting with the transmission in
neutral. Engine braking has no effect in
this condition.
NOTE
If the select lever is in the
“
N
”
position
when you stop the engine for parking,
you may not subsequently be able to
move it to the
“
R
”
and
“
P
”
positions. If
this happens, turn the ignition switch to
the
“
ON
”
position. You will then be able
to move the select lever to the
“
P
”
position.

select lever in the
“
N
