Gear Display
GEAR SELECTOR
The gear functioning is controlled by the gear
selector, which can assume the following
positions:
P = PARK
R = REVERSE
N = NEUTRAL
D = DRIVE (automatic forward speed)
AutoStick : + manually shift to higher gear; –
manually shift to lower gear
The positions diagram is illustrated on the top of
the gear selector.
Gear Selector Center Console
The letter corresponding to the mode selected on
the gear selector lights up and appears on the
instrument cluster display. To select a mode, move the gear selector forward
or rearward while pressing the brake pedal. To
engage REVERSE (R), press the brake pedal
together with the gear selector button.
Gear Selector
The gear selector is a joystick style shifting
mechanism which returns to the center position
automatically. It can be pushed forward twice and
rearward twice, based on the starting condition.
The PARK (P) mode can be enabled/disabled by
pushing the PARK (P) button. PARK (P) mode is
automatically activated if the following conditions
are met simultaneously:
DRIVE (D) mode or REVERSE (R) mode is active
The vehicle’s speed is close to 0 mph (0 km/h)
The brake pedal is released
The driver’s seat belt is not fastened
The driver’s door is open
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage:
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find the
tether anchorage. You may need to move the
seat forward to provide better access to the
tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move the
child restraint to another position in the
vehicle if one is available. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path for the strap between the anchor
and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped
with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the
head restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower
the head restraint and pass the tether strap
around the outboard side of the head
restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting 4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc -
tions.
Center Tether Special Instructions
Center Tether Attachment:
1. If adjustable, lower the adjustable center head restraint to the full down position.
2. Route the tether strap over the seatback and head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the center tether anchorage
located on the back of the seat.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc -
tions.
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing
car seat to any location in front of the car seat,
including the seat frame or a tether
anchorage. Only attach the tether strap of a
rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage
that is approved for that seating position,
located behind the top of the vehicle seat. See
the section “Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System” for the
location of approved tether anchorages in
your vehicle.
3 — Tether Strap Anchorages
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could
lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchorage
position directly behind the child seat to
secure a child restraint top tether strap.
If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear
seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seatbacks
as you remove slack in the strap.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles
operate at different loads and perform different
steering, driving, and braking functions. For these
reasons, they wear at unequal rates. These
effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
Rotation will increase tread life, maintain traction
levels and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
To resolve this problem, tires should be rotated at
each service interval (approximately every
10,000 miles [16,000 km]). More frequent
rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for
any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected
prior to rotation being performed.
Tire Rotations Not Recommended — If Equipped
Due to different size tires and wheels on front and
rear axles, tire rotation is not possible for:
2.0L Engine equipped with a different front and
rear tire size.
Tire rotation contributes to the preservation of the
grip and traction performance on wet, muddy or
snowy roads, guaranteeing optimal drivability of
the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tires identify
the cause and correct it as soon as possible, by
contacting an authorized dealer.The rotational direction of the tire must be taken
into consideration when rotating the tires. The
recommended rotation pattern for directional
tires is shown in the following diagram.
Tire Rotation
It is recommended to avoid situations with a large
difference in wear between the front and rear
tires and to strictly use Winter tires of the sizes
given on the tire placard.
The AWD system and the original tires are
developed together to ensure the vehicle’s best
performance. When changing the tires, it is
recommended to us the same “AR” marked tires,
to maintain the same level of performance and
component life.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other
suspension components, it is important that
only traction devices in good condition are
used. Broken devices can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if
noise occurs that could indicate device
breakage. Remove the damaged parts of
the device before further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed of
the device manufacturer’s if it is less than
30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may occur if different
front and rear tire sizes are rotated
