To drive, press the brake pedal and start the engine, then
move the shift lever from NEUTRAL (N) to the DRIVE
(D) position for automatic mode, the MANUAL (M)
position for manual mode or the REVERSE (R) position.
Only shift into DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) when the
accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. It
is necessary to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from NEUTRAL
into another gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait to allow the
selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is espe-
cially important when the engine is cold.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
To engage REVERSE (R):
• Press and hold the brake pedal.
• Move the shift lever to the REVERSE (R) position.
