Selector Lever Positions
P Park For securing the vehicle. The engine can be started. Engage only when the vehicle is stationary (the automatic transaxle will be locked.

In an emergency (battery discharged) the selector lever can be unlocked manually. Refer to "SELECTOR LEVER SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID " in this article.
