NOTE:

If the shift lever cannot be moved to the PARK,

REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when pushed forward)

it is probably in the ERS (+/-) position (beside the DRIVE

position). In ERS mode, the transmission gear limit (1, 2, 3,

etc.) is displayed in the instrument cluster. Move the shift

lever to the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for access to

PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

Gear Ranges

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or

NEUTRAL into another gear range.
NOTE:

After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to

allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating.

This is especially important when the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by locking the

transmission. The engine can be started in this range.

Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in

motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the

vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift the

transmission into PARK first, and then apply the parking

brake.
