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

Shifting from N or P:
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.
If the engine is running faster than
idle, don't shift from N or P into a
driving gear.

Shifting into N while Driving:
Shifting into N while driving is
dangerous. Engine braking cannot be
applied when decelerating which
could lead to an accident or serious
injury. Do not shift into N when
driving the vehicle.

CAUTION

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

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position. From a
stop, the transaxle will automatically shift
through a 4-gear/5-gear

*

sequence.

* 2.3-liter engine model

M (Manual)

M is the manual shift mode position.
Gears can be shifted up or down by
operating the shift lever.
Refer to Manual Shift Mode (page 5-13).

Shift-Lock System

The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

To shift from P:

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

NOTE

l

When the ignition switch is in the
ACC or LOCK position, the shift
lever cannot be shifted from P.

l

To be sure the vehicle is in park,

the

ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in P.

q

Shift-Lock Override

If the shift lever won't move from P using
the proper shift procedure, continue to
hold down the pedal.

1. Remove the shift-lock override cover

with a screwdriver.
