Notice: If you drive in LOW (L) for more than 25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h), you could damage your engine and/or transaxle. Use DRIVE (D) or INTERMEDIATE (I) as much as possible. Shift into LOW (L) only if your vehicle is going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h). Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. MANUAL (M): This position, available on the XR model, allows you to change gears similar to a manual transaxle. If your vehicle has this feature, see TAP-shift. TAP-shift To use this feature, do the following: 1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) rearward to MANUAL (M). While driving in manual mode, the transaxle will remain in the driver selected gear. When coming to a stop in the manual position, the vehicle will automatically shift into FIRST (1) gear. 2. Press the (+) plus paddle located on top of the steering wheel controls forward to upshift, or push the backside of the shift paddle rearward to downshift. 125
