WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:

[ALWAYS check the surrounding
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, then press
the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions 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.
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the gear position when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.
However, if the gear is in N (Neutral)
or P (Park), the position is displayed on
the instrument cluster when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the OFF or ACC
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).

To shift the gear to P (Park), press the P
button while depressing the brake pedal.

WARNING

[Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may cause you to
lose control of the vehicle.

[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 prevent the vehicle

WARNING

[Do not shift into gear unless your

Engine Start/Stop button in the ON
position.
3. Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position.
4. Remove the cap-cover (1) and
press the P release button (2) while

the OFF position, refer to step 4.

[While the gear shifts to N (Neutral) or P
(Park), you may hear mechanical noise
which is a normal operating noise.
