Transaxle Ranges

The shift lever must be in P or N to
operate the starter.

P (Park)

P locks the transaxle and prevents the
front wheels from rotating.

WARNING

Always set the shift lever to P AND set
the parking brake:
Only setting the shift lever to the P
position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.

CAUTION

l

Shifting into P, N or R while the
vehicle is moving can damage your
transaxle.

l

Shifting into a driving gear or
reverse when the engine is running
faster than idle can damage the
transaxle.

R (Reverse)

In position R, the vehicle moves only
backward. You must be at a complete stop
before shifting to or from R, except under
