Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the Dual Clutch

transmission from P (Park) into R
(Reverse) unless the brake pedal is
depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the igni
-
tion switch or ENGINE START/
STOP button to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, a
chattering noise & vibration near
the shift lever may be heard. This is
a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and whilst shifting out
of the P (Park) position into another
position to avoid inadvertent motion
of the vehicle which could injure per
-
sons in or around the car.
