Starting and Driving
wShift-Lock System
WARNING
For your safety, the automatic transaxle
has a shift-lock, which prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.
Shifting from N or P:
It’s dangerous to shift from N or P
into a driving gear when the engine is
running faster than idle. If this is
done, the vehicle could move
suddenly, causing an accident or
serious injury. If the engine is
running faster than idle, don’t shift
from N or P into a driving gear.
To shift from P:
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2.
Start the engine.
3. Push and hold the lock-release button.
4.
Move the shift lever.
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4-gear sequence.
NOTE
•
When the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position, the transaxle
cannot be shifted from P.
2 (Second)
The 2 position is helpful when driving in
heavy, slow-moving traffic and climbing
hills, for engine braking assist when going
down hills, or for starting on slick
surfaces and other situations where gentle
acceleration may be necessary.
•
To be sure the vehicle is in park, the
ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in P.
Do not exceed the following speeds in the
2 position.

Do not exceed the following speeds in the
1 position.
