202 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. CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any other reason with selector lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage. 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. D (Overdrive) This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest up shifts and down shifts, and the best fuel economy. Select the "3" range when frequent transmission shifting occurs when using the Overdrive range, such as when operating the 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) For moving the vehicle rearward. Always stop before moving the lever to R (Reverse), except when rocking the vehicle. N (Neutral) Engine may be started in this range.
