D (Drive)
This range should be used for most city
and highway driving. It provides the
smoothest upshifts and downshifts and
the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically shifts up
and down through all gears. The D
(Drive) position provides optimum
driving characteristics under all normal
operating conditions of the vehicle.
• Vehicle stationary: to switch from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse) and/or to P
(Park) requires brake pedal and
unlock button pressed: to reach N
(Neutral) starting from D (Drive) is
allowed by only pressing the unlock
button on the shift lever.
• To enable special operations while
the car is moving at a low speed,
such as getting out of marsh or snow,
it is possible to run quickly from D
(Drive) to R (Reverse), and vice versa,
by pressing the reset button on the
gear shift lever.
• Vehicle moving: switching to N
(Neutral) from D (Drive) requires the
unlock button on the shift lever
pressed.
• From D (Drive) selected mode it is
always possible to switch to M
(Manual), by pressing the M
(Manual) button: the Led indicator
beside the button will light up; to
return to D (Drive) position, the same
action should be performed as the
LED will turn off.
• When in D (Drive) mode, moving the
shift lever forward or backwards to
the next step without pressing the
unlock button on the lever will cause
the system to enter a temporary
function and enable the manual shift
mode. This range is indicated with
the symbols “+/-” on the right and
left sides of the “D” letter on the
gear range field of the display. The
system will then switch back to
automatic mode according to time
elapsed in “temporary” mode and
driving conditions.
At extremely cold temperatures
(-30°C/-23°F or below), transmission
may be affected by the low
temperature of the engine and
gearbox. Normal operation will
resume once the gearbox temperature
has risen to a normal level.
All-Wheel Drive (Gasoline — AWD)
This vehicle is equipped with an active
on-demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
system provides available optimum
traction for a wide variety of road
surface and driving conditions. The
system minimizes wheel slip by
automatically redirecting torque to the
front and rear wheels as necessary.
To maximize fuel economy, the AWD
vehicle automatically defaults to
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) when road
and environmental conditions are such
that wheel slip is unlikely to occur.
When specific road and environmental
conditions require increased levels of
road traction, the vehicle automatically
shifts into AWD mode. Drive mode,
RWD, or AWD, is displayed on the TFT.
Refer to paragraph “TFT Display” in
chapter “Instrument Cluster” of section
4 for further information.
WARNING!
There may be a slight delay for AWD
engagement after a wheel slip
condition occurs.
