start what the correct and granted
operations are.
Damage to the transmission may occur
if the following precautions are not
observed:
• Shift into P (Park) only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
This is the default position of the
lever and should be used every time
the ignition switch is cycled to
OFF .
• Shift into or out of R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop and the engine is at
idle speed.
• Do not shift between P (Park), R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) or D (Drive)
when the engine is above idle speed
• To effect any change from vehicle
stop to R (Reverse), D (Drive), 1

2
nd
gear, it is necessary to keep the
brake pedal fully depressed.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if
the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could accelerate quickly
forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift
into gear when the engine is idling
normally and when your foot is
firmly pressing on the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the
vehicle. As with all vehicles, you
should never exit a vehicle while the
engine is running. Before exiting a
vehicle, always apply the electronic
parking brake, shift the transmission
into P (Park), and turn the engine
off. The gear lever will consequently
lock in P (Park) position for a few
seconds, then eases, handling the
change is to prevent the motion of
the car.
• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons.
A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with a feature
which requires the shift lever to be
placed in P (Park) before the engine
can be turned off. This prevents the
driver of inadvertently leaving the
vehicle without placing before the
transmission in P (Park). This system
also locks the shift lever in P (Park)
whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
