234 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the vehicle into P (Park), remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake. Once the key is removed from the ignition, the transmission shift lever is locked in the P (Park) position, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement. Furthermore, you should never leave children unattended inside a vehicle. The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park), firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops. • Look at the shift indicator window on the shifter bezel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position. • You must depress the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of the P (Park) position. CAUTION! Before moving the shift lever out of P (Park), you must turn the ignition from LOCK to ON so the steering wheel and shift lever are released. Otherwise, damage to the steering column or shifter could result. You must also depress the brake pedal. “R” Reverse Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
“N” Neutral Engine may be started in this range. “D” This should be used for most driving and provides the best ratio for optimum driveability, fuel economy, and performance. “L” Low This range should be used for maximum engine braking when descending steep grades. In this range, the transaxle will ratio up only to prevent transaxle damage or engine over speed while ratioing down will occur as early as possible STARTING AND OPERATING 235 AUTOSTICK — IF EQUIPPED Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that offers six manual ratio changes to provide you with more control. Autostick allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations. Automatic ratio changes upward will only occur to protect the Continuously Variable Automatic Transaxle (CVT) and or the engine from overspeed and changes down will only happen at minimum engine speed to prevent stalling. 5
