Continuously variable transmission (CVT) (if so equipped)
5-42 Features and controls
5
Move the lever to this position only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen-
gaged. It is the same as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used when
the vehicle is not moving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a
traffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions.
This position is for use when light engine
braking at high-speed is needed, or driving up
very steep hills and for engine braking at low
speeds when descending steep gradients.

When the selector lever position indicator
blinks while you are driving, there could be a
malfunction in the automatic transaxle system
or CVT fluid temperature becomes abnor-
mally high.
“R” REVERSE
CAUTION
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in motion, the transmission
may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WARNING
Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving since
you could accidentally slip it into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,
damaging the transmission.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
stopped on a slope, the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
“B” BRAKE
WARNING
When a malfunction occurs in
the automatic transaxle
When the selector lever position
indicator blinks
NOTE
The “A” indicator blinks only if the CVT
selector lever switch is broken.
It is not seen during normal driving.
