selected by pushing the shift lever
from the D (Drive) position into the
manual gate. To return to D (Drive)

back into the main gate.
In Manual shift mode, moving the
shift lever backwards and forwards
will allow you to select the desired
range of gears for the current driving
conditions.

when the vehicle slows down. When

To shift the transaxle from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1.Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2.Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3.Move the shift lever.
