AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
• Shift into “P” (Park) only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of “R” (Reverse) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine
is at idle speed.
• Do not shift from “R” (Reverse), “P” (Park), or “N”
(Neutral) into any forward gear when the engine is
above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot
is firmly on the brake pedal.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P”
(Park) or “N” (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the
brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly
forward or in “R” (Reverse). You could lose control of
the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift
into gear when the engine is idling normally and
when your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

override. The manual override may be used in the event
that the shift lever should fail to move from “P” (Park)
with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal
depressed. To operate the shift lock manual override,
