AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always apply the parking brake fully
and make sure you shift into park (P).
Switch the ignition off and remove
the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than a few seconds will limit
engine performance, which may result in
difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and
could lead to serious injury.
Understanding the Shift Positions
of Your Automatic Transmission
Putting your vehicle in gear:
E224178
1.
Fully press down the brake pedal.
2. Move the selector to the desired gear.
3. Come to a complete stop.
4. Move the selector to park (P).
Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your
vehicle locks the transmission and
prevents the wheels from turning. Always
come to a complete stop before putting
your vehicle into and out of park (P). An
audible chime sounds once you select park
(P).
When the ignition is turned off, your vehicle
will automatically shift into park (P). If the
ignition is turned off while the vehicle is
moving, it will first shift into neutral (N)
until a slow enough speed is reached. Your
vehicle will then shift into park (P)
automatically.
Automatic Return to Park
Note:
This feature will not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode or
neutral tow.
Your vehicle has a safety feature that will
automatically shift your vehicle into park
(P) when any of the following conditions
occur:
•
You turn the vehicle off.
•
You open the driver's door with your
safety belt unlatched.
•
Your safety belt is unlatched while the
driver's door is open.
If you turn your vehicle off while moving,
your vehicle first shifts into neutral (N) until
it slows down enough to shift into park (P)
automatically.
Note:
If you have waited an extended
period of time (2-15 minutes) before starting
your vehicle, unlatching your safety belt will
cause this feature to activate, even with the
driver's door closed.
Note:
This feature may not work properly
if the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If
your door ajar indicator does not illuminate
when you open the driver’s door or the
indicator illuminates with the driver’s door
closed, see your authorized dealer.
