R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.

N (Neutral)
The wheels and transaxle are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or service brakes are applied.

D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving posi-
tion. The transaxle will automatically shift
through a 6-gear sequence, providing the
best fuel economy and power.

For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing grades, depress the
accelerator fully, at which time the
transaxle will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as appro-
priate).

NOTICE

Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).

CAUTION

The transaxle may be damaged if
you shift into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION

Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transaxle if you shift into R while
the vehicle is in motion, except as
explained in “Rocking the vehicle”
in this section.
