P (Park):

Use this selector position when the vehicle is

parked or when starting the engine. Make sure

the vehicle is completely stopped. The brake

pedal must be depressed to move the se-
lector lever from the N (Neutral) or any
drive position to P (Park).
Apply the parking

brake. When parking on a hill, apply the parking

brake first, then shift the selector lever into the P

(Park) position.
R (Reverse):

CAUTION

Use this position only when the vehicle is

completely stopped.

Use this position to back up. Make sure the

vehicle is completely stopped before selecting

the R (Reverse) position. The brake pedal

must be depressed to move the selector
lever from P (Park), N (Neutral) or any drive
position to R (Reverse).

N (Neutral):

Neither forward nor reverse gear is engaged. The

engine can be started in this position. You may

shift to N (Neutral) and restart a stalled engine

while the vehicle is moving.

D (Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
L (Low gear):
Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly

or slow driving through deep snow, sand or mud,

or for maximum engine braking on steep downhill

grades.
Do not shift into the L position at speeds above

65 MPH (105 km/h). Do not exceed 65 MPH

(105 km/h) in the L position.

Shift lock release

If the battery is discharged, the shift selector lever

may not be moved from the P (Park) position even

with the brake pedal depressed.
To move the shift selector lever, release the shift

lock. The shift selector lever can be moved to N

(Neutral). However, the steering wheel will be

locked unless the ignition switch is turned to the

ON position. This allows the vehicle to be moved

if the battery is discharged.
