Shifting out of Park
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic
transmission. The shift lock release button is
designed to prevent inadvertent shifting out
of P (Park).
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Ensure the engine is running.
2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Press and hold the shift lock release
button.
4. Move the shift lever to the desired
position.
5. The P indicator will turn white and the
gear indicator on the gear lever will turn
red when the vehicle is no longer in
P (Park).
6. After releasing the gear lever, it will
return to the centre position.
If the vehicle cannot shift from P (Park), a
Driver Information Centre (DIC) message
may be displayed. Check that the ignition is
switched on, the engine is running, the
brake pedal is depressed, and the shift lock
release button is pressed when you are
attempting to shift out of P (Park). If all of
these conditions are met but the vehicle will
not shift out of P (Park), see your retailer
for service.
Parking over Things That Burn
{
Warning
Things that can burn could touch hot
exhaust parts under the vehicle and
ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves,
dry grass, or other things that can burn.
Active Fuel Management
This vehicle's engine may be equipped with
Active Fuel Management, which allows the
engine to operate on either all of its
cylinders, or in reduced cylinder operation
mode, depending on the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such as
cruising at a constant vehicle speed, the
system will operate in reduced cylinder
operation mode, allowing the vehicle to
achieve better fuel economy. When greater
power demands are required, such as
accelerating from a stop, overtaking,
or merging onto a freeway, the system will
maintain full-cylinder operation.
