N: Neutral position
• This indicates the neutral position and use this position for
temporarily parking.
At this position, the engine does not transfer power to the
wheels and the vehicle will not move. However, for safety,
apply the brake while at rest.
To shift into "-D+" or "R" from "N" position after stopping
the vehicle, you have to depress the brake pedal.
WARNING
• Never shift into "N" from "-D+" position when the vehicle is moving,
or the transmission will be damaged.
• If you have to stop on a hill, depress the brake pedal securely.
-D+: Drive position
• Use this position in normal driving conditions. The trans-
mission is automatically shifted from 1st gear through 5th
gear according to the vehicle speed and the acceleration
with accelerator pedal.
WARNING
• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after
shifting into "-D+" position, or the transmission will be damaged.
Especially, when you drive off on a hill after stopping and parking
the vehicle, wait for a while until the shift indicator "D" and "1" will
come on with the brake pedal depressed.
• Even the gear is in "-D+" position, the vehicle can be moved down
on a uphill even according to gradients, so you have to depress
the brake pedal.
CAUTION
Please note that the vehicle may slowly move forward on a level
ground when the selector lever is at "-D+" position.
