FUNCTION AND DESCRIPTION

SELECTOR LEVER

P: Parking and starting position
This position is used when the vehicle is parking, starting
the engine or stationing the vehicle. In this position, the driv-
ing wheels are locked by parking pawl. To shift into any other
positions, must depress the brake pedal (parking lock
system).
R: Reverse driving
Conversion between Standard and Winter switch changes
the reverse gear ratio but must be operated before the selec-
tor lever is moved. Pressing on the Winter switch allows to
have effective driving when driving on the slippery road sur-
face and, also, possible to have smooth driving in reverse as
it starts in 2nd gear.
N: Neutral, starting and towing position
The engine can be started in this position. And, this position
is used in temporary stop. If it is necessary to tow a vehicle,
use a professional tow truck service. If not available, use
emergency towing by towing vehicle and lope. In this case,
the towing distance should be limited by 50 km with 50 km/h
of towing speed.
D: All forward gears (1st ~ 5th)
This position is for all normal forward driving in 1st to 5th
gear. At 5th gear, the gear ratio is 0.83:1. When driving for-
ward at the speed of over 10 km/h, the selector lever cannot
be changed to "P" or "R" position by parking reverse block
function.
