remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

R (Reverse)

With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.

Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R

(Reverse).

With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is

free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.

The normal driving position for the best fuel economy. The transaxle

operates in gears one through four.

D (Drive)

• This position allows for all forward gears except overdrive.

• Provides more engine braking than

• Use when driving conditions cause excessive shifting from O/D to

other gears. Examples: city traffic, hilly terrain, heavy loads, trailer

towing and when engine braking is required.

1 (First)

• Provides maximum engine braking.

• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever.

• Will not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First)

when vehicle reaches slower speeds.

When parking, do not use the gearshift in place of the parking

brake. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the

gearshift is securely latched in Park (P). Turn off the ignition

whenever you leave your vehicle. Never leave your vehicle unattended

while it is running. If you do not take these precautions, your vehicle

may move unexpectedly and injure someone.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting from forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
