Using a Console-Mounted Gearshift
Automatic console-mounted gearshift lever
Your automatic transaxle vehicle has a
console-mounted shift selector lever. You must
step on the brake pedal, start the engine, and
then push in the thumb button to move the shift
selector lever to the position you choose.
Hold the brake pedal down while you
move the gearshift lever from position to
position. If you do not hold the brake
pedal down, your vehicle may move
unexpectedly and injure someone.
NOTE: If the gearshift selector lever will not
move with the key on and the brake
pedal depressed refer to Shift-lock
system in the Index.
