In this way the system moves the
transmission in P (Park) position.
Automatic Transmission Range
P (Park)
Use this position to park the vehicle.
The transmission can be shifted from
“P” position only with the brake pedal
and the unlock button pressed: then
move the shift lever. To move the shift
lever from “P” position to any other
position, the engine must be switched
on. The engine can be regularly
started in P (Park) range. Never
attempt to use P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion. When parking on
a level surface, you may press the “P”
button first, and then apply the
electronic parking brake by pulling the
trigger upwards.
The Instrument cluster will display the
related indicator light
and the
message for 5 seconds.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before pressing the “P”
button.
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the kerb on a downhill
and away from the kerb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
• Never use the P (Park) mode as a
substitute for the electric parking
brake. Always apply the parking
brake fully when parked to prevent
vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
• Make sure the transmission is in P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT race the engine when
shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral)
into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
• The following indicators should be
used to ensure that you have
engaged the shift lever into the “P”
position:
– when shifting into P (Park), push
the “P” button on the shift lever.
– with the brake pedal released,
verify that “P” position is
illuminated on the shift lever and
in the instrument cluster display.
