Driving
20
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse).
N (Neutral)
With the gearshift lever in N (Neutral), the vehicle can be powered-up and is
free to roll. Apply the brakes when powering-up the vehicle in Neutral.
D (Drive)
The driving position for forward movement.
2, 1 (Drive)
These driving positions provide higher regenerative braking levels. This simulates the
engine-braking effect in a conventional vehicle when coasting in the 2 or 1 gear posi-
tions. The 2 position provides more regenerative braking than D (Drive), and 1 provides
more regenerative braking than 2.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly until the
depth is known.
Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the
wheel rims . Water can damage electrical components and mechanical systems by enter-
ing vents.
When driving through water, traction or brake capability may be limited.
Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your vehicle slowly while
applying light pressure on the brake pedal.
Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as
quickly as dry brakes.
