NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when
shifting from "Neutral" position
or "Park" position to a forward or
reverse gear.
o The ignition key must be in the
"ON" position and the brake pedal
fully depressed in order to move
the shift lever from the "P" (Park)
position to any of the other posi-
tions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D" position to "P" po-
sition. The vehicle must be fully
stopped to avoid transaxle dam-
age.

!
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R", "D" and "P" posi-
tion only when the vehicle has
completely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward posi-
tions with the brakes applied.
o Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R",
"D"position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) position
in place of the parking brake.
Always set the parking brake, shift
the transaxle into "P" (Park) posi-
tion and turn off the ignition when
you leave the vehicle, even mo-
mentarily. Never leave the vehicle
unattended while the engine is
running.
o When accelerating from a stop on
a steep hill, the vehicle may have
a tendency to roll backwards. Shift-
ing the shift lever into 2nd gear
while in Sport mode will help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards.

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position
with the accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into "R" or
"D".
o Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be ex-
tremely hazardous. Always leave
the car in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are driv-
ing down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow
the car.
