CAUTION!

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

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

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.

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 push the lever all the way forward until

it stops. When released, the lever will return to the

center position.

• With brake pedal released, look at the transmission

gear position display and verify that it indicates the

PARK position (P).

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.
