MOVING UP A STEEP GRADE
FROM A STANDING STARTTo move up a steep grade from a
standing start, depress the brake pedal,
shift the shift lever to D (Drive). Select
the appropriate gear depending on load
weight and steepness of the grade, and
release the parking brake. Depress the
accelerator gradually while releasing the
service brakes.
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a
tendency to roll backwards. Shifting
the shift lever into 2 (Second Gear)
while in Sports mode will help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEMFor your safety, the Automatic Transaxle
has a shift lock system which prevents
shifting the transaxle out of P (Park)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transaxle out of P (Park) ;
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
key to the ON position.
3. Depress the lock release button and
move the shift lever.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC
or LOCK position, the transaxle cannot
be shifted from P (Park).
If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed
and released with the shift lever in the P
(Park) position, a chattering noise near
the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
Note that the ignition key cannot be
removed unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position. If the ignition switch is
in any other position, the key cannot be
removed.

CAUTION
 Shift into the “R” and “P” posi-
tion only when the vehicle has
completely stopped.
 Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward
positions with the brakes applied.
 Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from “P” or “N”, to “R”
or “D” position.
 Do not use the “P” (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake. Always set the parking
brake, shift the transaxle into
“P” (Park) position and turn off
the ignition when you leave the
vehicle, even momentarily.
Never leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is run-
ning.
 Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level regularly, and add
fluid as necessary.
