move the shift selector to a driving position.

pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.

WARNING

Do not depress the accelerator pedal

while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neu-
tral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or L (Low)
position. Always depress the brake
pedal until shifting is completed. Fail-

control and have an accident.

Cold engine idle speed is high, so use

caution when shifting into a forward or
reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.

Never shift to P (Park) or R (Reverse)

while vehicle is moving. Failure to do so
could cause you to lose control and
have an accident.

CAUTION

When stopping the vehicle on an uphill

grade, do not hold the vehicle by de-
pressing the accelerator pedal. The foot
brake should be used for this purpose.

Do not downshift abruptly on slippery

roads. This may cause a loss of control.

Except in an emergency, do not shift to

the N (Neutral) position while driving.
Coasting with the transmission in the N
(Neutral) position may cause serious
damage to the transmission.
