Driving your vehicle
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
Shift lock system
For your safety, the Automatic Transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle out of P (Park)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To move up a steep grade from a stand-

the shift lever to D (Drive). Select the
appropriate gear depending on load

release the parking brake. Depress the
accelerator gradually while releasing the
service brakes.
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten-
