CAUTION!

Before moving the shift lever out of PARK, you

must start the engine and also press the brake
pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could
result.

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this
can damage the drivetrain.

The following indicators should be used to ensure that

you have engaged the transmission into the PARK posi-

tion:

• When shifting into PARK, press the lock button on the

shift lever and firmly move the lever all the way

forward until it stops and is fully seated.

• Look at the transmission gear position display and

verify that it indicates the PARK position (P).

• With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever

will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into

REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete

stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged

periods with the engine running. Apply the parking

brake and shift the transmission into PARK if you must

leave the vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
