Gear Selection
The selector lever has seven posirions; E PARK, E REVERSE, N NEUTRAL, @ 1st through 4th positions. E 1st
through 3rd positions, Ql2nd gear and [] 1st gear.
Starting is possible only in @ and I Oosition through use ot a slide-type, neutral-safety switch.
Automatic Tlansaxle {A/T) Gear Position Indicatol
A/T gear pos;tion indicator in the instrumenl panel shows what gear has been selected without having look down at
the console.
Position Description
l3?]] PARK Front wheels locked; parking pawl engaged with parking gear on countershatt. All clutches

[R] REVERSE Reverse; reverse selector engaged with countershalt reverse gear and 4th clutch locked.
N NEUTRAL All clurches released.
D+l DRIVE General driving; starts off in 'lst, shifts automatically to 2nd, 3rd, then 4th, depending on vehicle
('lst through 4th) speed and throttle position. Do'vnshifts through 3rd, 2nd and 1st on deceleration to stop.
The lock-up mechanism comes into operation in 2nd, 3rd and 4th when the transmission in lDtposrtron.
Dgi DRIVE For rapid acceleration at highway speeds and general driving; starts off in 1st. shifts automatical-(1st through 3rd) ly to 2nd then 3rd, depending on vehicle speed and throttle position. Downshifts through lower
gears on deceleration to stop. The lock-up mechanism comes into operation in 3rd.
El SECOND Driving in 2nd geari stays in 2nd gear, does not shift up and down.
For engine braking or better traction starting off on loose or slippery surfece.

5. It not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shift cable and adjust as required.
6. Tighten the locknut to 7 N.m (O.7 kgf.m, 5lbf.ft).
7. Install the lock pin on the adiuster. lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
8. Move the selector to each gear and verify that the
automatic transaxle gear position indicator tollows
the automatic transaxle gear position switch.
9. Start the engine and check the shift lever in all gea.s.
lf any gea. does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-86 thru 89.
1O. lnsert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the
shift indicator panel, ve.ify that the shift lock lever
is released,
