NOTE: You MUST press and hold the brake pedal down while shifting out of Park. 5 WARNING! Automatic Transaxle Shifter CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of "P" or "N" if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.

Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
