stop before shifting.
 Be sure to press the drive select switch
only while the engine is idling.
 Make sure that the reverse indicator

verse.
TIP
Make sure that the engine is warmed up

1. While the engine is idling, select the de-
sired operating position by pressing the
drive select switch. Make sure that the
drive indicator light or the reverse indica-
tor light flashes, and then remains on.
Once the indicator light for the selected

TIP

sion is in reverse.
