AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

E060000AUN

E060100AMG

Automatic transaxle operation

The highly efficient automatic transaxle
has 5 forward speeds and one reverse
speed. The individual speeds are select-
ed automatically, depending on the posi-
tion of the shift lever.
All normal forward driving is done with
the shift lever in the D (Drive) position.
To move the shift lever from the P (Park)
position, the brake pedal must be
depressed with the ignition switch ON.

NOTICE

The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if

the battery has been disconnected, may

be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal

condition, and the shifting sequence will

adjust after shifts are cycled a few times

by the TCM (Transaxle Control

Module) or PCM (Powertrain Control

Module).

The shift lever can be moved freely.

Depress the brake pedal when shifting, if your vehicle is equipped shift lock system.
