This
position locks the transmission to prevent the
vehicle from moving. The electric motor unit can
be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is
in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
It
should only be used when the vehicle is station-
ary for an extended length of time during driving,
such as in a traffic jam. WARNING
l Never
move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you
could accidentally move the lever into the
“P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position
or you will lose regenerative braking.
l On a gradient, the electric motor unit
should be started in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N”
(NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss
of control.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving.

braking is automatically applied
when necessary, depending on road conditions. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid
transmission damage.
“B” BRAKE
This
position gives stronger regenerative braking
than the “D” (DRIVE) position. It increases the ve-
hicle’s usability on hills and enables more energy-
efficient driving. It is intended for downhill driving. Starting and driving
