Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the gear position when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift the gear from R (Reverse), N
(Neutral), D (Drive) or Manual mode
to P (Park), press the P button.
If you turn off the engine in D (Drive),
R (Reverse) or Manual shift mode the
shifting automatically changes to P

• Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
vehicle is shifted to the P
(Park) position, then apply the
parking brake, and place the
Engine Start/Stop button in
the OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle move-
ment can occur if these pre-

• When using the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode), do not
use engine braking (shifting
from a high gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery
roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may cause
you to lose control of the vehi-
cle.
• After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine off.
• When parking on an incline,
shift the gear to P (Park) and

ton is pressed while depressing the
brake pedal.
To shift from P (Park) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive):

2. Start the engine or place the
Engine Start/Stop button in the
ON position.
3. Move the shift lever to R (Reverse)
or D (Drive) while pressing the
UNLOCK button.
When the Battery is
Discharged
You cannot move the shift lever,
when the battery is discharged.
In emergencies, do the following to
move the shift lever to N (Neutral) on
a level ground.
1. Connect the battery cables from
another vehicle or from a another
battery to the jump-starting termi-
nals inside the engine compart-
ment.
For more details, refer to "Jump
Starting" in chapter 6.
