The AUTO P (parking lock) function
If the following operations are performed with the selector lever switched to a
position other than P while the vehicle is stopped, the shift position changes to the P
position automatically.
x
The power switch is switched from ON to OFF.
x
The driver’s seat belt is unfastened and the driver’s door is opened.
NOTE
When the AUTO P (parking lock) function operates, only the shift position changes
to the P position automatically. The shift position indication in the instrument cluster
will differ from the selector lever position because the selector lever position does
not change. Check the shift position indication in the instrument cluster and shift the
selector lever to the P position.

Use this mode when it is necessary to release the parking brake and change the shift
position to the N position, such as in an automatic car wash that moves the vehicle
by placing the front and rear tyres on one side of the vehicle on a belt conveyor.
