Shifting The Transmission
The transmission shift lever has REVERSE (R), NEUTRAL (N), DRIVE (D) and
MANUAL (M) positions. In the MANUAL (M) position, the lever can be toggled
rearward or forward (+/-) to upshift or downshift the transmission to the next gear. The
actual transmission gear range (R, N, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) is displayed in the EVIC
whenever the engine is running.
When the key is turned OFF, the transmission remains in its previous gear position,
regardless of the shift lever position. With key on/engine off, the display may indicate
the shift lever position rather than the actual transmission gear position.
Although the shift lever can be moved freely the transmission will not actually shift
unless the brake pedal is pressed, therefore the shift lever and display may not
correspond to the actual transmission gear range. To shift the transmission to a
particular gear range (with key on/engine off), press and hold the brake pedal, move
the shift lever to NEUTRAL (N), then move the shift lever to the desired position.
To drive, start the engine, then move the shift lever from NEUTRAL (N) to the DRIVE
(D) position for automatic mode, the MANUAL (M) position for manual mode or the
REVERSE (R) position.
NOTE:
Only shift into DRIVE (D) or REVERSE
(R) when the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and the vehicle is stopped. Be
sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal
when shifting between these gears.
