CAUTION
 Never shift into the "P" (PARK) or "R"
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion. If the lever is shifted into the "P"
(PARK) or "R" (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in motion, the transmission
may be damaged.
"N" NEUTRAL
At this position, the transmission is disen-
gaged. It is the same as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used when
the vehicle is not moving for an extended
