gearshifts when the shift lever is oper-
ated.
 When driving on a slippery road, push the shift lever forward into the
+(up) position. This causes the
transaxle to shift into the 2nd (or 3rd)
gear which is better for smooth driv-
ing on a slippery road. Push the shift
lever to the -(down) side to shift back
to the 1st gear.Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic transmis-
sion has a shift lock system which pre-

lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
