When you change from D to R and vice versa, or want to change to Park (P),
come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal applied. Operating the
gear buttons before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can
damage the transmission.
Auto park mode
For your convenience, Park (P) is automatically engaged when the vehicle is
turned off, or when all of the following conditions are met: the vehicle is
stopped with the engine running, the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, and the
driver’s door is opened. You should always apply the brake and shift to Park
when idling, or before exiting the vehicle.
If you select any gear other than Park when the driver’s door is opened and
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, Park is re-engaged when the brake pedal
is released.
Car wash mode
Follow the procedure below to use a conveyor-style car wash where you or
an attendant do not remain in the vehicle. Make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position. You should inform the car wash attendant of this
procedure.
1. When the engine is running, apply the brake pedal, select Neutral (N),
then release the brake pedal.
2. Press and hold Neutral (N) for two seconds. This puts the vehicle into
car wash mode.
If the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed while the vehicle is in car
wash mode, the power mode will change to ACCESSORY and a message
will be displayed on the driver information interface. After 15 minutes, the
gear position changes to Park and the power mode changes to OFF.
