Automatic Transaxle Operation
There are several different
positions for the shift
lever that is located
between the front seats
on the center console.
PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels.
It's the best position to use when you start the engine
because your vehicle can't move easily.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.
Don't 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 won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
See ªShifting Into PARK (P)º in the Index.
If you're pulling a trailer, see ªTowing a Trailerº
in the Index.
Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before
starting the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle shift lock control system.

The direction of airflow for the rear seats can also
be adjusted. Move the fan lever to adjust the fan
speed from low to high. Move the vent lever to direct
the airflow.Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice,
snow or any other obstruction (such as leaves).
The heater and defroster will work far better,
reducing the chance of fogging the inside of
the windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather,
adjust the fan to the highest speed for a few
moments before driving off. This helps clear the
intake outlets of snow and moisture, and reduces
the chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.

CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, and it can change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the
life of your vehicle.
NOTICE:
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
If you put things inside your vehicle -- like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else
-- they will go as fast
as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly,
or if there is a crash, they'll keep going.
CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn,
or in a crash.

Put things in the trunk of your vehicle.
In a trunk, put them as far forward as
you can. Try to spread the weight evenly.

Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them are
above the tops of the seats.

Don't leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.

When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Electronic Level Control
This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as
the load changes. It's automatic
-- you don't need to
adjust anything.
