while pressing the button in.

: Shift while pressing the button in.

: Shift without pressing the button.

The selector lever has four positions, “P ”,

“R”, “N”, “D” and also has manual gate for

using “SPORT” mode or manual mode.

! P (Park)

This position is for parking the vehicle and

starting the engine.

In this position, the transmission is me-

chanically locked to prevent the vehicle

from rolling freely.

When you park the vehicle, first set the

parking brake fully, then shift into the “P”

position. Do not hold the vehicle with only

the transmission.

To shift the selector lever from the “P” to

any other position, you have to depress

the brake pedal fully then push the release

button on the selector lever when the

ignition switch is in the “ON” position. This

prevents the vehicle from lurching when it

is started.

If the selecter lever does not move from

the “P” position with the brake pedal

depressed, the release button pushed in,

and the ignition switch in the ON position,

refer to the “Shift lock release ” section in

this chapter.

NOTE

To protect the engine while the “P”

position is sel ected, the engine is

controlled such that the engine speed

may not become too high even if the

accelerator pedal is depressed hard.

! R (Reverse)

This position is for backing the vehicle.

To shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop

the vehicle completely then move the

lever to the “R” position while pushing

the release button.

! N (Neutral)

This position is for restarting a stalled

engine.

In this position the wheels and transmis-

sion are not locked. In this position, the

transmission is neutral; the vehicle will roll

freely, even on the slightest incline unless

the parking brake or foot brake is applied.
