Electronic Gear Selector Operation
You select gears by either pressing or pulling up on each of the electronic gear selector buttons. Park, Neutral, and
Drive are all activated by pressing
down
on the corresponding letter. Reverse is activated when you pull
up
on the
button. Colored indicators next to each button tell you which gear is selected.
Shifting from Park to Reverse, Park to Drive, Neutral to Reverse, and Neutral to Drive can only be done with the brake
pedal applied.
Auto Park Mode
As a convenience feature, the transmission automatically shifts into Park when you turn the ignition to OFF or when all
of these conditions are met:
•
The vehicle is stopped.
•
The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
•
The driver’s door is opened.
Always apply the brake pedal and shift to Park when idling or when exiting the vehicle. If you select any gear other than
Park with the driver’s door open and the driver’s seat belt unbuckled, Park is reengaged when you release the brake
pedal.
Car Wash Mode
If you need to run the vehicle through an unattended conveyor-style car wash or load it onto a flatbed, you can bypass
Auto Park Mode by setting Car Wash Mode. Here is how to set it:
1. With the engine running, apply the brake pedal and select Neutral on the electronic gear selector.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the POWER button. The ignition goes to ACCESSORY and the engine shuts off.
3. Look for the message
Shift to Park
in the MID and
N
in the instrument panel. This tells you that Car Wash
Mode is set. You will then have 15 minutes before the transmission automatically shifts into Park and the
ignition goes to OFF. You may now exit the vehicle.
