D (Drive)

D (Drive) eliminates the needless

shifting between third and fourth

gears that your vehicle may do

when driving in hilly terrain. It also

gives more engine braking than

overdrive to slow your vehicle on

downgrades.

L (Low)

Use L (Low) when added engine

braking is desired or when

descending steep hills.

The automatic transaxle will shift into the proper gear to ascend any

grade without any need to shift to L (Low).

Do not go faster than 61 km/h (38 mph) when in this gear. You can

upshift from L (Low) to

(overdrive) at any time.

When parking, do not use the gearshift in place of the parking

brake. Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the

gearshift is securely latched in Park (P). Turn off the ignition

whenever you leave your vehicle. Never leave your vehicle unattended

while it is running. If you do not take these precautions, your vehicle

may move unexpectedly and injure someone.
