Automatic transmission opera-
tion
The automatic transmission has 8
forward speed levels and 1 reverse
speed level. Vehicle speed is auto-
matically selected, depending on the
shift lever position.
Information
A new vehicle may experience some-
what abrupt movement during the
first few shifts.
Always depress the brake pedalwhen moving the shift lever from N(Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.
To avoid damage to your trans- mission, do not depress the
accelerator, when the shift lever
is in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear positions, and when the
brake is set.
(Continued)(Continued)
When a vehicle stops on a
slope, do not stop the vehicle
with the engine power.
Set the service brake or the
parking brake.
Do not shift from N(Neutral)/P(Park) to
D(Drive)/R(Reverse), when the
engine runs faster than the idle
speed.
Transmission ranges
The shift lever position is displayed
on the instrument cluster, when the
Engine Start/Stop button is ON.

before moving the shift lever to P
(Park). This locks the transmission
and prevents the drive wheels from
rotating.

Always take a look around your vehicle for any passers-
by, especially children, before
moving the shift lever to D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in P (Park). Then,
fully set the parking brake and
turn the engine OFF.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement may occur
when these precautions are
not taken.

Moving the shift lever to P(Park), while driving, locks the
drive wheels, possibly result-
ing in your loss of vehicle

Do not set the shift lever in P (Park) instead of setting the
parking brake. Always make
sure the shift lever is latched
