Automatic Transaxle Operation
I
A
CAUTION:
There are several different positions for the shift lever.
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could overheat and cause
a
fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into a properly grounded three-prong
110-volt AC outlet. If the cord won't reach, use a
heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at least 15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and
store the cord as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don't, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind
of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you'll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
PARK (P): This locks the
front wheels. It's the best
position to use when you
start the engine because
your vehicle can't
move easily.
A
CAUTION:
I
It is dangerous to get out
of
your vehicle
if
the
shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
