Select P before switching
off the engine. However, if
the engine is switched off
with R, D or S selected, the
selector will automatically
return to P while retracting.
To return to automatic operation, pull and hold the
right (upshift) paddle for 2 seconds or rotate the gear
selector from S to D position.

slower than the set speed, your vehicle will automatically
slow down and then maintain the set gap until the road
ahead clears. At that point, your vehicle will accelerate to
the set speed.
