NOTE:

• Before moving the transmission gear selector out of

PARK, you must start the engine and also press the

brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear selector

could result.

• DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or

NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage

the drivetrain.

The following indicator should be used to ensure that

you have engaged the transmission into the PARK posi-

tion:

• With brake pedal released, look at the transmission

gear position display and verify that it indicates the

PARK position (P).

REVERSE (R)

This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into

REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete

stop.
NEUTRAL (N)

Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged

periods with the engine running. Apply the parking

brake and shift the transmission into PARK if you must

leave the vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
practices that limit your response to changing traffic
or road conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
