the gearshift lever is latched in P (Park).

The single-speed transmission is built specifically to handle the high RPM
range that comes with an all-electric motor.

started in P (Park).

This position locks the transmission
and prevents the front wheels from
turning.

To put your vehicle in P (Park):
• Come to a complete stop.

• Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park).

Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be started and is
free to roll. Hold the brake pedal down while in this position.
D (Drive)
The normal driving position for your vehicle. The transmission operates
in a single gear built specifically to handle the high RPM range that
comes with an all-electric motor.
