P (Park)

Use this position when starting the engine or
parking the vehicle.

CAUTION

The vehicle must be stationary when posi-
tion P is selected.

The parking brake should also be set whenever
the vehicle is parked.

The gear selector is mechanically locked in the
P position (SHIFTLOCK). To release the gear
selector from this position, the engine must be

running (or the ignition key must be in posi-
tion II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.

WARNING

Never leave the vehicle unattended when
the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear
selector is moved from P, the vehicle may
start moving.

R (Reverse)

Never engage R while the vehicle is moving.

N (Neutral)

Neutral - no gear engaged. Use the parking
brake.

D (Drive)

D is the normal driving position and should be
used as often as possible to help improve fuel
economy. The vehicle should not be moving
when shifting from R to the D position.

Manual shifting

G020237

Shift gate positions

You can move the gear selector freely between
the MAN and D positions to select forward
gears while driving. Gears 3, 4, 5, and 6 (where
applicable) have a "lock-up" function which
reduces engine speed and helps save fuel.

Depress the button on the front of the gear
selector knob to move between the R, N, D,
and P positions.

NOTE

Reverse, Neutral, and Park cannot be
selected in Geartronic mode.
