Shifting

Change the shift position based on your driving needs.
Park (P): Used for parking or starting/stopping the 

engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the release 

button to shift.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Used for idling.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving.
Drive (S): Used for better acceleration, increased 

engine braking, or driving in hilly terrain.
Low (L): Used for stronger engine braking when 

driving in hilly terrain.

When you change the shift lever from D to r and vice versa, come to a complete

stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Operating the shift lever before the 

vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the accelerator pedal. You could

damage the transmission.

Braking

Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.

Parking Brake

Keep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.

To release: Press the brake pedal, then press the 

parking brake until it releases. 

Brake Assist System

During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake 

pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the brake 

pedal firmly down.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to 

prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake pedal may 

pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, 

and continue to hold it firmly down.

Release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle can be 

damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied. 

NOTICE

The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.
