from stop. Make sure that vehicle is com-
pletely stationary before shifting into
Reverse.

idling.

WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal
before shifting from "P" (Park) (or

help prevent the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly when you shift.
CAUTION

push start system, if you cannot
press the engine switch firmly, the

into "R" or "D" position without the
engine running, the vehicle does not
move.
If you try to move your vehicle under

vehicle may move in unexpected
directions on a slope, etc. This may
cause an accident. When starting the
engine, press the engine switch
firmly. Also, make sure that the
engine is running by checking engine
sound or warning and indicator
lights.
NOTE:
When you shift the gearshift lever into "P"
and stop the engine before depressing the
parking brake pedal, if you try to restart the
engine and shift the gearshift lever into the
position other than "P", it may reduce gear-
shift lever capability, or unusual sound and
shock may occur. However, this is not

The gearshift lever has a lock mechanism
to help prevent accidental shifting. Shift the
