STARTING AND OPERATING 213 • Stop the vehicle and shift into Park (P). • Turn the key to OFF then restart the engine. • Shift into the desired range and resume driving. NOTE: Even if the transaxle can be reset, it is recommended that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Your dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. If the transaxle cannot be reset, dealer service is required. Gear Ranges for Automatic Transaxle "P" Park Supplements the parking brake by locking the transaxle. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while vehicle is in motion. Apply parking brake when leaving vehicle in this range. DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL positions into another gear range. WARNING! Never use Park position on an Automatic Transaxle as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. "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" Overdrive For most city and highway driving, it provides smoothest upshifts and downshifts and best fuel economy. When frequent transaxle shifting occurs while using the "D" Overdrive position, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, (i.e. in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds or while towing heavy trailers), using the "3" position will improve performance and extend transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build-up. 5
