8-22 Driving and Operating
N (Neutral): In this position, the
engine does not connect with the
wheels. To restart the engine when the
vehicle is already moving, use N
(Neutral) only. Also, use N (Neutral)
when the vehicle is being towed.
Warning
Shifting into a drive gear while the
engine is running at high speed is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly
on the brake pedal, the vehicle could
move very rapidly. You could lose
control and hit people or objects. Do
not shift into a drive gear while the
engine is running at high speed.
Caution
Shifting out of P (Park) or N
(Neutral) with the engine running at
high speed may damage the transm-
ission. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Be
sure the engine is not running at high
speed when shifting the vehicle.
D (Drive): This position is for normal
driving, and allows the transmission to
shift into all forward gears. It provides
the best fuel economy.
Downshifting the transmission in
slippery road conditions could result in
skidding. See"Skidding" under Loss of
Control on page 8-4.
Caution
Spinning the tires or holding the
vehicle in one place on a hill using
only the accelerator pedal may
damage the transmission. The repair
will not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin
the tires. When stopping on a hill, use
the brakes to hold the vehicle in place.
