| Park (P): | Used for parking or starting/ stopping the engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the release button to shift. |
| Reverse (R): | Used for reversing. |
| Neutral (N): | Used for idling. |
| Drive (D): | Used for normal driving. |
| Drive (S): | Used for better acceleration, increased engine braking, or driving in hilly terrain. |

When you change the shift lever from D to R and vice versa, come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Operating the shift lever before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.
