The select lever has four positions, P,
R, N, D and also has a manual gate
for using the manual mode.
NOTE
For some models, to protect the engine
while the select lever is in the P or
N position, the engine is controlled
so that the engine speed ma y not
become too high even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed hard.
! P (Park)
This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine.
In this position, the transmission is me-
chanically locked to prevent the vehicle
from rolling freely.
When you park the vehicle, first apply the
parking brake, then shift into the P
position. Do not hold the vehicle with only
the transmission.
To shift the select lever from the P to any
other position, you should depress the
brake pedal fully then move the select
lever. This prevents the vehicle f rom
lurching when it is started.
! R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle.
To shift from the N to R position, stop
the vehicle completely then mo ve the
lever to the R position.
! N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
engine.
In this position the wheels and transmis-
sion are not locked. In this position, the
transmission is neutral; the vehicle will roll
freely, even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or foot brake is applied.
