gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢ page 233, Working in the en
gine compartment .
(D Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter .
{D) Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode . The Infotainment display shows Sas
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The
