Driving your vehicle
N (Neutral)
2 (Second Gear)
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.
Use 2 (Second Gear) for more power
when climbing hills and for increased
braking when going down hills.This posi-
tion also helps reduce wheel spin on
slippery surfaces. When the shift lever is
placed in 2 (Second Gear), the transaxle
will automatically shift from first to sec-
ond gear.
D (Drive)
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.
L (Low)
Move the shift lever to this position in
hard pulling situations and for climbing
steep grades.
CAUTION
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion, except when “Rocking the
vehicle” explained in this section.

transaxle.
