Automatic transaxle operation

The automatic transaxle has 4 (or 5) for-
ward speeds and one reverse speed. The
individual speeds are selected automati-
cally, depending on the position of the
shift lever.

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).

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

OTD059007

The shift lever can be moved freely.

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