selector lever is in the "D" (DRIVE) position, depending on the
speed of the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the
manual gate (C).
NOTE
In the main gate, the selector lever has 4 positions.
For information on manual gate operation, please refer to
"Sports mode" on page 3-104.
With the brake pedal depressed, set the selector lever in
the gate to operate.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WARNING
!
Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the
selector lever into a selector position from the "P"
(PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the selector
lever from the "P" (PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL)
position while depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so is dangerous because the vehicle will
"jump" forward or backward.
