N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 8-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
To start the vehicle forward, push the
D (Drive) button by depressing the
brake pedal with the engine ON.
Then depress the accelerator pedal
smoothly.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
When the vehicle is stopped in D
(Drive) position, if you open the dri-
ver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear is shifted to P (Park)
position automatically.
However when the vehicle moves in
D (Drive) position, if you open the dri-
ver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear may not shift to P
(Park) position automatically to pro-
tect the automatic transmission.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the gear
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3. Depress the brake pedal and push
the R (Reverse) or D (Drive) but-
ton. Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear when
the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle and
hit people or objects.
