Automatic transaxle operation
The  highly efficient  automatic  transaxle
has  6 forward  speeds  and one  reverse
speed. The individual speeds are select-
ed automatically, depending on the  posi-
tion of the shift lever.
For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a
forward or reverse gear.

Always  check   the   surrounding
areas near  your  vehicle for  peo-
ple,  especially   children,   before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
Before  leaving the  driver’s  seat,
always make  sure the  shift lever
is  in the  P  (Park)  position; then
set  the  parking  brake  fully  and
shut  the engine  off.  Unexpected
and  sudden   vehicle   movement
can  occur  if   these  precautions
are not followed in the order iden-
tified.
When stopped on an upgrade, do
not  hold   the  vehicle  stationary
with engine  power. Use the  serv-
ice brake or the parking brake.
NOTICE
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if
the battery has been disconnected, may
be  somewhat  abrupt. This  is  a  normal
condition, and the shifting sequence will
adjust after shifts are cycled a few times
by    the    TCM     (Transaxle    Control
Module)  or PCM  (Powertrain  Control
Module).

the   transaxle  and   prevents   the  front
wheels from rotating.
