Active Noise Cancellation
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise Cancella-
tion System, this system is designed to address the
change in exhaust noise whenever the vehicle is operat-
ing in Fuel Economy Mode (ECO) or 4 cylinder mode. This system relies on four microphones embedded in the
headliner to detect the exhaust drone and prompt an
onboard frequency generator to create counteracting
sound waves through the audio system’s speakers and
sub-woofer. This helps keep the vehicle quiet at highway
speeds.
Eight–Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both
besides the gear selector bezel and in the Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID). To select a gear range, press the
lock button on the gear selector and move the lever
rearward or forward. To shift the transmission out of
PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal
must be pressed. You must also press the brake pedal to
shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the
vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in this sec-
tion). Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.5
