Selector Lever Position Functions
1. Selector lever
2. Lock-release button
3. Shift indicator
P (Park)
Position when parking the vehicle and
when starting the EV system.
WARNING
Always set the selector lever to P
position and set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the P
position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous.
If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
NOTE
When the lead-acid battery is
depleted, the parking lock does not
operate even if the selector lever is
shifted to the P position.
R (Reverse)
Position for reversing the vehicle.
A beep is activated to notify the driver
that the shift position is in the R
position.
N (Neutral)
Position where power generated by the
motor is not transmitted to the EV
Transaxle.
WARNING
Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle:
If the selector lever is shifted to the N
position while driving, deceleration
using the regenerative braking is not
possible which could result in an
accident.
NOTE
Apply the parking brake or depress the
brake pedal before moving the selector
lever from N position to prevent the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
D (Drive)
Position for normal driving.
Shift indicator
The shift position turns on.
NOTE
The shift indicator turns on at the same
position as the shift position indication
