Driving your vehicle
Shift lock system (if equipped)
Good driving practices
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
For your safety, the automatic transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.

Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-

Never move the shift lever into P (Park)
when the vehicle is in motion.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse):
• Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
•
Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
•
Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift to
a lower gear. When you do this, engine
braking will help slow down the vehicle.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting out
of the P (Park) position into anoth-
er position to avoid inadvertent
movement of the vehicle which
could injure persons in or around
the car.
