Driving and Operating
If the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF or ACC position for any reason
while the vehicle is in N (Neutral),
or any drive position, the key cannot
be turned to the LOCK position and
be removed from the ignition switch.
If this occurs, perform the following
steps:
1. Apply the parking brake when
the vehicle is stopped.
2. Move the shift lever to P (Park)
to park the vehicle and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK
position to remove the key.

Caution
To prevent transmission damage,
use the P (Park) or R (Reverse)
position only when the vehicle is
completely stopped.
P (Park):
Use the P (Park) shift
lever position when the vehicle is
parked or when starting the engine.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped. The brake pedal must be
depressed and the shift lever button
pushed in to move the shift lever
from N (Neutral) or any drive
position to P (Park). Apply the
parking brake. When parking on a
hill, apply the parking brake first,
then place the shift lever into the
P (Park) position.
{
Caution
To prevent transmission damage,
use the P (Park) or R (Reverse)
position only when the vehicle is
completely stopped.
R (Reverse):
Use the R (Reverse)
position to back up. Make sure the
vehicle is completely stopped before
selecting the R (Reverse) position.
R (Reverse) speed is limited to
30 MPH (48 km/h). Do not exceed
30 MPH (48 km/h) in the
R (Reverse) position. The brake
pedal must be depressed and the
shift lever button pushed in to move
the shift lever from P (Park),
N (Neutral) or any drive position to
R (Reverse).
N (Neutral):
Neither forward nor
reverse gear is engaged. The
engine can be started in this
position. You may shift to
N (Neutral) and restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.
D (Drive):
Use this position for all
normal forward driving.
L (Low):
Use this position for
engine braking on steep downhill
gradients/climbing steep slopes and
whenever approaching sharp bends.
Do not use the L (Low) position in
any other circumstances.
Engine power may be automatically
reduced to protect the CVT if the
engine speed increases quickly
when driving on slippery roads or
while being tested on some
dynamometers.
