The automatic transmission shifts auto-
matically into park position P if you open
the driver's door when the vehicle is sta-
tionary or driving at very low speed, and the
transmission is in position D or R. This func-
tion depends on the date of manufacture of
your vehicle.

the DIRECT SELECT lever up or down, the
parking lock is disengaged and the trans-
mission shifts to neutral N.
If you want to shift from park position P
directly to R or D, depress the brake and
push the DIRECT SELECT lever up or down
past the first point of resistance.

wise, the automatic transmission could be
damaged.
