The selector lever has seven positions.
The release button must be pushed to select the “P”, “R”, or “2” posi-
tions.
B P (Park)
This position is for parking the vehicle and starting the engine.
In this position, the transmission is mechanically locked to prevent the
vehicle from rolling freely.
When you park the vehicle, first set the parking brake fully, then shift
into the “P” position. Do not hold the vehicle only with the transmis-
sion.
The shift interlock function is employed in this automatic transmission
system to ensure safety of starting the vehicle.
To shift the selector lever from the “P” to the any other position, you
have to depress the brake pedal fully then push the release button on
the selector lever when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. This
prevents the vehicle from lurching off when starting.
If the shift lever should not move from the “P” position with the brake
pedal depressed and the release button pushed in, refer to Shift Lock
Release section in this chapter.
