Automatic transmission (Shift Lever)

mode

shift up or down one gear.
If you pull the [+] and [-] paddle shifters
at the same time, you cannot shift the

Shift lock system
For your safety, the automatic transmis
-
sion has a shift lock system which pre
-
vents shifting the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chatter
-
ing noise near the shift lever may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and while shifting out of the P
(Park) position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the vehicle.

the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal depressed,
continue depressing the brake, then do
the following:
1. Place the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button in the LOCK/OFF
position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the knob boots cov

ering the shift-lock release access
hole (1).
4. Insert a tool (e.g., flathead screw
-
driver) into the access hole and press
down on the tool.
5. Move the shift lever.
6. Remove the tool from the shiftlock
override access hole then install the
knob boots.
If the shift lever does not move even

the system checked by a professional
workshop.
