AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Your automatic transmission has a shift lock system to minimize
the possibility of incorrect operation. This means you can only
shift out of "P" position when the brake pedal is depressed with
the ignition switch in "ON" position. (K)

"The shift position is displayed on the instrument cluster.

P: Parking, engine starting and key removal position
R: Reverse position
N: Neutral position
D: Normal driving position (Shifting into overdrive possible)
4: Position for engine braking (Shifting into overdrive not
possible)
When the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift
from "D" to "4", engine braking will not be applied because
the cruise control is not cancelled. For the operation to
decrease the vehicle speed, see page 170.
