The shift lever has seven positions; @ PARK, E REVERSE, N NEUTRAL. [Dt l st through 4th ranges, @ 1st through
3rd ranges, @ 2nd gear and [ 1sr gear.
Starting is possible only in @ and N positions through use of a slide-type, neutral-safety switch.

CableToo Short
NOTE: There are two holes in the adjuster. They are
positioned 9Oo apart to allow cable adiustment in 1/4
turn Incremenrs.
4. lJ the hole is not per{ectly aligned, loosen the locknut
on the adjuster, and adiust as required.
5. Tighten the locknut to 7 N'm (0.7 kgf'm, 5lbf'ftl
6. Installthe lock pin on the adiuster. lI you feelthe lock
pin binding as Vou reinstall it, the cable is still out ot
adjustment and must be readjusted.
7. [/ake sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
aoJusrer.
8. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
automatic transaxle gear position indicator follows the
automatic transaxle gear position swatch.
9. Start the engine, and check the shift lever in allgears'
lf any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-90 thru 93.
10. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the shift
