Owner's Manual

WARNING!

Never use PARK as a substitute for the parking

brake. Always apply parking brake fully when

parked to guard against vehicle movement and pos-

sible injury or damage.

CAUTION!

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK

or NEUTRAL positions into another gear range as

this can damage the drivetrain.

REVERSE

This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Use only

after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

NEUTRAL

This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro-

longed periods with engine running. Engine may be

started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must

leave the vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the

ignition switch to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

practices that limit your response to changing traffic

or road conditions. You might lose control of the

vehicle and have an accident.

DRIVE – Six-Speed Transaxle

This range should be used for most city and highway

driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts, downshifts,

and best fuel economy. However, use the AutoStick威

mode and select the appropriate gear when frequent
