When the "Neutral" position is selected, there is no
powerflow through the transaxle. The output shaft is

The "Drive" position is the normal position for
most forward gear operations. The Drive position
provides automatic upshifts and downshifts, apply

forward gear ratios. Downshifts are available for safe
passing, by depressing the accelerator.
