When you are ready to drive, move the selector lever from "P" or "N" to the desired drive position. Pull selector lever toward you when shifting into reverse, second, first, or park, or when shifting out of park.

To move the lever to or from "P" park position or into "2" second, "1" first, or "R" reverse, it is necessary to depress the shift lever button, located on the top of the selector lever.

	"R" reverse: Use this range only when the car has been stopped.
	"N" neutral: Use when car idles for prolonged periods with engine running. Engine can be started in this range.
	"D" drive: For most city and highway driving.
	"2" second: For driving slowly in heavy city traffic or on mountain roads where more precise speed control is desirable. Use it also when climbing long grades, and for "engine braking" when descending moderately sleep grades.
