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
(Park).
When you park the vehicle, press the
P button while depressing the brake
pedal and then apply the parking
brake. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
• ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
• 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-
cautions are not followed.
• 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
apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling
downhill.
