AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
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 power, 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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
Park (P)
This position locks the driveline and
prevents the wheels from turning.
The engine can start with the shifter in this
position.
The electric parking brake could apply if:
• You shift to park (P) on a slope.
• You shift to park (P) without the brake
pedal fully pressed.
Note: A warning tone sounds if you open
the driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).
Reverse (R)
This position allows your vehicle to move
backward. 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.
This position allows your vehicle to roll
freely. Hold the brake pedal down when in
this position.
The engine can start with the shifter in this
position.
Drive (D)
This position, drive (D), is the normal
driving position, and allows your vehicle to
move forward.
Low (L)
This mode is for driving on steep slopes.
The transmission will hold low gear for
maximum torque driving uphill and
maximum engine braking driving downhill.
You can enter this mode at any vehicle
speed.
Note: Prolonged use of this mode could
lower fuel economy. With your vehicle in
drive (D), press the L button to enter this
mode.
