CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position

lever position when the ignition is
switched "ON". During "D" range op-
eration, green lights indicate the gear

The Function of Each Position Is
As Follows:
o P (Park):
Use to hold the vehicle in place when

!
CAUTION:
Never place the selector lever in the
"P" (Park) position unless the ve-
hicle is fully stopped. Failure to
observe this caution will cause se-
vere damage to the transaxle.

o R(Reverse):
Use for backing up the vehicle. Bring
the car to a complete stop before shift-
ing the selector lever to "R" position.
C090D02A-AAT
o N (Neutral):
In the "N" position, the transaxle is in
neutral, which means that no gears
are engaged. The engine can be started
with the shift lever in "N" position,
although this is not recommended ex-
cept if the engine stalls while the car is
moving.
C090E01L-GAT
o D (Drive):
Use for normal driving. This position is
used for most city and highway driving,
for starting from a full stop to maximum
speed. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a four/five gear
sequency, giving best economy and
power.
