78 STARTING AND OPERATING
Shift Paddles
In MANUAL mode, the steering wheel mounted
shift paddles (l and -) control the
transmission shifting.
Tapping the (+) paddle will upshift the
transmission to the next higher gear, while
tapping the (-) paddle will downshift to the next
lower gear. The current gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster. If a requested shift would
cause engine lugging or overspeed, that
request will be ignored.
In AUTO mode, tapping a shift paddle will
temporarily place the transmission in MANUAL
mode, and execute the requested upshift or
downshift (if allowable). The transmission will
then return to AUTO mode after a brief interval.
Pressing a shift paddle will only shift the
transmission one gear at a time. Holding a
paddle depressed will not command multiple
shifts; the paddle must be pressed multiple
times in succession to generate multiple shifts.
Neutral (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running.
Always apply the parking brake if you must exit
the vehicle.
At engine startup, the transmission will
automatically select NEUTRAL (N) and AUTO
mode. The brake pedal must be pressed when
starting the engine.
To select NEUTRAL (N) when the vehicle is
stationary, turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position (engine running or not), press the brake
pedal, and push the N button on the
transmission gear selector.
When the vehicle is moving (with ignition ON),
pushing the NEUTRAL (N) button will engage N,
regardless of whether the brake pedal is
pressed.
With the vehicle in motion, to engage a gear
from the NEUTRAL (N) position, push the 1
button on the transmission control panel (it is
not necessary to press the brake pedal). The
transmission will engage the correct gear
according to the vehicle’s speed.
Acoustic Signal
If the vehicle is stationary with the engine
running and FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R) engaged,
the system activates an acoustic signal and
automatically places the transmission in
NEUTRAL (N) when:

The accelerator and/or brake pedal are not
operated for at least three minutes.

The brake pedal is pressed for longer than
10 minutes.

The driver’s door is opened and the acceler -
ator pedal or the brake pedal are not oper -
ated for at least one and a half seconds.

A fault has been detected in the transmission.
Parking The Vehicle
When parking and leaving the vehicle, proceed
as follows:
1. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, put the
vehicle into either a forward or reverse gear
by pushing 1 or R. (The vehicle may already
be in 1 or R if you were just driving.)
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Turn off and remove the key.
5. Release the brake pedal.
When parking on an incline, turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill slope and
away from the curb on an uphill slope. Always
chock the wheels when parking on steep
grades.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off
the ignition to coast down a hill. Coasting in
NEUTRAL and turning off the ignition while
coasting severely limit your ability to respond
to changing traffic or road conditions. Failure
to follow this WARNING may result in loss of
vehicle control, collision, and serious injury or
death.
