The function of each position is as fol-
o N (Neutral):
lows:
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in neutral,
which means that no gears are engaged. The
engine can be started with the shift lever in "N"
position, although this is not recommended
except if the engine stalls while the car is
moving.
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when parked or
while starting the engine; shift the selector lever
to the "P" (Park) position. Whenever parking the
car, apply the parking brake and shift the selec-
tor lever to the "P" (Park) position.
C090E01A-AAT
o D (Drive):
!
Never place the selector lever in the "P"
Park) position unless the vehicle is fully
stopped. Failure to observe this caution
will cause severe damage to the transaxle.
HXD007
Use for normal driving. The transaxle will auto-
matically shift through a four-gear sequence.
Never downshift manually to "2" position or "L"
position when vehicle speed is more than 60
mph (96 km/h).
CAUTION:
NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the
button when shifting.
(
Push the button when shifting.
The selector lever can be shifted freely.
C090Q01A-GAT
o 3 (Third gear):
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or if the
battery has been disconnected, may be some-
what abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the
shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are
cycled a few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle
Control Module.)
C090C01A-AAT
o R (Reverse):
Use for towing a trailer during hill climbing or to
use engine braking downhill.
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring the car to
a complete stop before shifting the selector
lever to "R" position.
"3"
automatically shifts between 1st, 2nd and
3rd gears. This means that no shift-up to 4th
gear is performed. However, the shift-up to 4th
gear is done when the car speed exceeds a
certain value to prevent the engine from over-
revving. Manually move the selector to "D"
when returning to normal driving condition.
