self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new

vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal

condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few

hundred miles (kilometers).

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the

accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.

Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when

shifting between these gears.
The transmission shift lever has PARK, REVERSE, NEU-

TRAL, DRIVE, and Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift

positions. Manual downshifts can be made using the ERS

shift control (refer to “Electronic Range Select (ERS)

Operation” in this section for further information). Mov-

ing the shift lever into the ERS (-/+) position (beside the

DRIVE position) displays the current gear in the instru-

ment cluster, and prevents automatic upshifts beyond

this gear. In ERS mode, toggling the shift lever forward (-)

or rearward (+) will change the highest available gear.
