Information
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupted,
the distance to empty function may not
operate correctly.
• The distance to empty may differ
from the actual driving distance as it
is an estimate of the available driving
distance.
• The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 1.6 gallon
(6 liters) of fuel are added to the
vehicle.
• The distance to empty may vary
significantly based on driving
conditions, driving habits, and
condition of the vehicle.

Depress the brake pedal whenever rotating the shift dial to change gear or shifting P.
OJX1069003L[A] : Rotary shifter (Rotary gear shift dial), [B] : P button, [C] : Cap-cover
Automatic Transmission Operation
The automatic transmission has eight forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Driving Your Vehicle
6-12
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
rearward.
ORG3060006
To shift the gear to R (Rear), rotate
the shift dial counterclockwise while
depressing the brake pedal.
When the vehicle is stopped in the
R (Reverse) position, if you open
the driver's door with the seat belt
unfastened, the gear will automatically
shift to P (Park).
However, if the vehicle is in motion, the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to prevent automatic transmission
damage.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you
may damage the transmission if you
shift into R (Reverse) while the vehicle is
in motion.N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
ORG3060007
To shift the gear to N (Neutral), rotate the
shift dial clockwise from R (Reverse) or
counterclockwise from D (Drive) while
depressing the brake pedal.
Always depress the brake pedal when
you are shifting from N (Neutral) to
another gear.
If you turn the engine off in N (Neutral),
the gear will automatically shift to P
(Park).
However, if you need to stay in N
(Neutral) with the engine off, refer to “To
stay in N (Neutral) when vehicle is OFF”
in the following page.
CAUTION
The engine can be started with the gear
in N (Neutral), but for you safety, be
sure to start the engine with the gear in
P (Park).

Driving Your Vehicle
6-14
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically shift
through an 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator pedal further until you feel
the transmission downshift to a lower
gear.
ORG3060008
To shift the gear to D (Drive), rotate the
shift dial clockwise while depressing the
brake pedal.
When the vehicle is stopped in the D
(Drive) position, if you open the driver's
door with the seat belt unfastened, the
gear will automatically shift to P (Park).
However, if the vehicle is in motion, the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to prevent automatic transmission
damage.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
CAUTION
When you start after stopping on a
steep incline, even if the gear is in
D (Drive), if you do not depress the
accelerator or brake pedal, the vehicle
may roll backwards, which can cause an
accident.
When the battery is discharged
You cannot shift gears, when the battery
is discharged.
In emergencies, do the following to shift
the gear to N (Neutral) on a level ground.
1. Connect the battery cables from
another vehicle or from a another
battery to the jump-starting terminals
inside the engine compartment.
For more details, refer to "Jump
Starting" section in chapter 8.
2. Release the Electronic Parking Brake
with the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON position.
3. Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position.

ORG3060028L
4. Remove the cap-cover (1) and press
the button (2) while depressing the
brake pedal.
Then, the gear will change to the
N (Neutral) position. The button
(2) operates only for 20 seconds to
change the gear between P (Park) and
N (Neutral) from the time when the
button (2) is first pressed. However,
the button must be pressed within 3
minutes after the engine is turned off.
Information
In situations when the gear needs to be
shifted from P (Park) to N (Neutral) when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF
position, refer to step 4.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine.
3. Shift gear while depressing the brake
pedal.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Take the Key with you when leaving the
vehicle.
WARNING
• When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not
to depress the accelerator pedal for
a long period of time. The engine or
exhaust system may overheat and
start a fire.
• The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep away from
the exhaust system components.
• Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper
or leaves. They may ignite and cause
a fire.
