there is no object or people around
the vehicle. During operation, the
vehicle may suddenly move forward
or backward, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.

following precautions to prevent
damage to the transmission and
other parts.
Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector
lever or before the transmission is
completely shifted to forward or

Do not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
If your vehicle remains stuck after
