Shift Position Indication; When Driving; Automatic Transaxle- Page 218

NOTE

(With parking sensor system)

When the selector lever is shifted to the R
position with the ignition switched ON, the
parking sensor system is activated and a
beep sound is heard.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page
4-231.

N (Neutral)

In N, the wheels and transaxle are not
locked. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or brakes are on.

WARNING

If the engine is running faster than idle, do
not shift from N or P into a driving gear:

It's dangerous to shift from N or P into a
driving gear when the engine is running
faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle
could move suddenly, causing an accident
or serious injury.

Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:

Shifting into N while driving is dangerous.
Engine braking cannot be applied when
decelerating which could lead to an
accident or serious injury.

CAUTION

Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.

NOTE

Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N position to prevent the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence.

M (Manual)

M is the manual shift mode position.
Gears can be shifted up or down by
operating the selector lever. Refer to
Manual Shift Mode on page 4-65.
