The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the gear position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).

depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
The gear must be in P (Park) before

tened, the gear is shifted to P (Park)
position automatically.
However when the vehicle moves in
R (Reverse) position, if you open the
driver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear may be not shifted to
P (Park) position automatically for
protecting the automatic transmis-
sion.
NOTICE
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

N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart
a stalled engine, or if it is necessary
to stop with the engine ON. Shift into
P (Park) if you need to leave your
vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 8-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
To start the vehicle forward, push the
D (Drive) button by depressing the
brake pedal with the engine ON.
Then depress the accelerator pedal
smoothly.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
When the vehicle is stopped in D
(Drive) position, if you open the dri-
ver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear is shifted to P (Park)
position automatically.
However when the vehicle moves in
D (Drive) position, if you open the dri-
ver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear may not shift to P
(Park) position automatically to pro-
tect the automatic transmission.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the gear
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-tion switch in the ON position.
3. Depress the brake pedal and push the R (Reverse) or D (Drive) but-
ton.
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the brake
pedal. Shifting into gear when
the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to
move very rapidly. You could
lose control of the vehicle and
hit people or objects.
WARNING
