AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION -
EXCLUDING: PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property damage. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury. Note:
You may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the intelligent access key is
inside your vehicle.
Understanding the Shift Positions of
Your Automatic Transmission To place your vehicle in gear from park (P):
1. Fully press and hold the brake pedal
when shifting out of park (P).
2. Press the desired gear on the transmission selector.
3. When you finish driving, come to a complete stop. 4. Press the park (P) button on the
transmission selector.
The instrument cluster displays the current
gear.
Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your vehicle
locks the transmission and prevents the
wheels from turning. Always come to a
complete stop before putting your vehicle
into and out of park (P). An audible tone
sounds once you select park (P).
The electric parking brake may apply when
you shift to park (P) without fully pressing the
brake pedal. The electric parking brake
applies when you shift to park (P) on large
slopes. The electric parking brake releases
with the drive away release operation.

Automatic Return to Park
The transmission returns to park (P) if any of
the following occur:
•
You switch the ignition off.
• Your seatbelt is not fastened, and you
open the driver door.
• The driver door is open, and you
unfasten your seatbelt.
Note: This feature does not operate if your
vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode.
Note: If you switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, your vehicle shifts into
neutral (N) until it slows down enough to shift
in park (P).
Note: If you have waited for more than two
minutes before switching the ignition on,
unfastening your seatbelt causes this feature
to activate, even with the driver door closed.
Note: This feature may not work properly if
the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If your
door ajar indicator does not illuminate when
you open the driver door, or the indicator
illuminates with the driver door closed, see
your authorized dealer. Reverse (R)
With the selector in reverse (R), your vehicle
moves backward. Always come to a
complete stop before shifting into and out
of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
WARNING: In neutral (N) your vehicle
has the ability to roll freely. If you intend to
leave your vehicle, make sure you apply
the parking brake.
In neutral (N), power does not transmit to the
driven wheels, but the transmission is not
locked. You can start the engine with the
transmission in this position.
Stay in Neutral Mode
Use this feature to keep your vehicle in
neutral (N) when you exit the vehicle. To enter stay in neutral mode:
•
Bring your vehicle to a complete
standstill.
• Press the neutral (N) button on the
transmission selector.
• Press the neutral (N) button again to
enter stay in neutral mode.
Note: Stay in neutral mode is a temporary
vehicle state with the ignition off. Once in
this mode, sufficient battery voltage must be
maintained, or your vehicle returns to park.
Extended usage of stay in neutral mode may
result in a battery voltage reduction to a
level where the vehicle may no longer start,
and the vehicle returns to park (P). Do not
tow your vehicle in this mode.
Note: When entering an automatic car wash,
always shift into neutral (N). If you are exiting
the vehicle by the car wash, stay in neutral
mode is available. Failure to do this could
result in vehicle damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Note: A confirmation message appears in
the information display when your vehicle
enters stay in neutral mode.
