CAUTION
To prevent transmission damage, use
the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position only
when the vehicle is completely stopped.
P (Park):
Use this selector position when the vehicle is

When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake
first, then move the selector lever to the P (Park)
position.

Use this position to back up. Make sure the
vehicle is completely stopped before selecting
the R (Reverse) position. The brake pedal

driving position to R (Reverse).

Use this position for all normal forward driving.
L (Low) (if so equipped):
Use this position for maximum engine braking on
steep downhill gradients/climbing steep slopes
and whenever approaching sharp bends. Do not
use the L position in any other circumstances.
