Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has 6 forward
gears. The transaxle is fully synchro
nized in all forward gears so shifting
to either a higher or a lower gear is
easily accomplished.To shift to R (Reverse), make sure
the vehicle has completely stopped,
and then move the shift lever to neu
tral before moving into R (Reverse).
When you've come to a complete
stop and it's hard to shift into 1st gear
or R (Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then shift into first or R (Reverse)
gear.
Information
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up. i
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EqUIppED)
OGC054021
The shift lever can be moved without
pressing the button (1).
The button (1) must be pressed while

always make sure the shift lever is
in 1st gear when the vehicle is
parked on a uphill and in R
(Reverse) on a downhill, set the
parking brake, and place the igni
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF posi
tion. Unexpected vehicle move
ment may occur if these precau
tions are not followed.

Automatic transaxle operation
The automatic transaxle has six for
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) position.The indicator in the instrument clus
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ONposition.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “ShiftLock Release” on
page 527.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
•ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive)
or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these
precautions are not followed.
•Do not use engine braking (shift
ing from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.

(Continued)
• If the driver presses the lever to + (Up) or (Down) position, the
transaxle may not make the request
ed gear change if the next gear is
outside of the allowable engine rpm
range. The driver must execute
upshifts in accordance with road
conditions, taking care to keep the
engine rpms below the red zone.
• When accelerating from a stop on a slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position.
This allows the transaxle to shift
into the 2nd gear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the (Down)
side to shift back to the 1st gear.Shiftlock system
For your safety, the automatic
transaxle has a shiftlock system
which prevents shifting the transaxle
from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni tion switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
