1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

When the ignition switch is in the 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

hold down the pedal.

using a cloth-wrapped flat head
screwdriver.

Manual Shift Mode

This mode gives you the feel of driving a
manual transaxle vehicle by operating the
shift lever and allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the front wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired.

To change to manual shift mode, shift the
lever from D to M.

To return to automatic shift mode, shift
the lever from M to D.

NOTE

l

If you change to manual shift mode when
the vehicle is stopped, the gear will shift to
M1.

l

If you change to manual shift mode without
depressing the accelerator pedal when
driving in D range, 5th gear, the gear will
shift to M4.

Indicators

Shift position indicator
