204 STARTING AND OPERATING The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the selector lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position. (Neutral) position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g., on icy roads). The engine may be started in this range. Use this range for starting your vehicle if it is moving or being towed. CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any other reason with selector lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage. CAUTION! Damage to the shifter could result if the selector lever is moved out of P (Park) before the ignition is turned from the LOCK to ON position. R (Reverse) Shift into R (Reverse) gear only when the vehicle is completely stopped. N (Neutral) No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are released, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage N WARNING! Do not coast in N (Neutral) and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
