release slot.
5. Push down on the key while
you press the release button on
the front of the shift lever and
move the shift lever out of Park
to neutral.
6. Remove the key from the shift
lock release slot, then reinstall
the cover. Make sure the notch
on the cover is on the driver's
side. Press the brake pedal, and
restart the engine.
If you need to use the shift lock
release, it means your vehicle is
developing a problem. Have the
vehicle checked by a dealer.
Using the Paddle Shifters in the D
position (D-Paddle Shift Mode)
When you are driving in the D
position, pulling either paddle shifter
switches from D-normal drive mode,
to D-paddle shift mode. You can shift
the transmission up or down
manually with the paddle shifters.
Downshifting gives you more
power when climbing, and
provides engine braking when
going down a steep hill.
