{CAUTION:

It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the

shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the

parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll.

Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is

running unless you have to. If you have left the

engine running, the vehicle can move

suddenly. You or others could be injured. To

be sure your vehicle will not move, even when

you are on fairly level ground, always set your

parking brake and move the shift lever to

PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P) on

page 2-28. If you are pulling a trailer, see

Towing a Trailer on page 4-35.

The positions for the shift lever are:

PARK (P): This position locks the vehicle’s front

wheels. It is the best position to use when the engine is

started because the vehicle cannot move easily.

Make sure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before

starting the engine. The vehicle has an automatic

transaxle shift lock control system. You must fully apply

the regular brakes before shifting from PARK (P)

when the ignition is in RUN. If you cannot shift out of

PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing it

all the way into PARK (P) while keeping the brake

pedal pushed down. Release the shift lever button. Then

move the shift lever out of PARK (P). See Shifting

Out of Park (P) on page 2-29

Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle

is moving forward could damage the transaxle.

The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is

stopped.

REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.

To rock the vehicle back and forth in order to get it out

of snow, ice, or sand without damaging the transaxle,

see If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow

on page 4-28.
