store the cord as it was before to keep it away from

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.
Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your vehicle may be equipped with a three - speed
automatic transaxle or a four - speed automatic transaxle.
The shift lever is located on the console between
the seats.
There are six different positions for the shift lever on the
three
- speed automatic and seven positions for the
four - speed automatic transaxles. While PARK (P),
REVERSE (R) and NEUTRAL (N) operate identically
for both transaxles, the forward gear positions represent
different gearing and operation. See “Forward Gears
(3
- Speed)” or “Forward - Gears (4 - Speed)” later in
this section.
