It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P with the parking brake firmly
set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
propulsion system is running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be injured. To be
sure the vehicle will not move,
even when you are on fairly level
ground, always set the parking
brake and move the shift lever to
P.
Make sure the shift lever is fully in P
before starting the propulsion system.
The vehicle has an electric drive unit
shift lock control system. The brake
pedal must be fully applied first and
then the shift lever button pressed
before shifting from P when the
ignition is on. If you cannot shift out of
P, ease the pressure on the shift
lever, then push the shift lever all the
way into P as you maintain brake
pedal application. Then press the
shift lever button and move the shift
lever into another gear.
Note
If you have continuous problems to
move the shift lever from P as
mentioned, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Note
The shift lock is always functional
except in the case of an uncharged
or low charged 12 volt battery.
Try charging or jump starting the
12 volt battery.

(R) Reverse: Use this gear to back up.
Note
Shifting to R while the vehicle is
moving forward could damage the
electric drive unit. Shift to R only
after the vehicle is stopped.
(N) Neutral: In this position, the
propulsion system does not connect
with the wheels.
(D) Drive: This position is for normal
driving. It provides the best fuel
economy. If more power is needed for
passing, and the vehicle is:
■ Going less than 35 mph, push the
accelerator pedal about halfway
down.
■ Going about 35 mph or more, push
the accelerator all the way down.
Note
If the vehicle seems to accelerate
slowly or not respond when you go
faster, and you continue to drive the
vehicle that way, you could damage
the electric drive unit.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
(L) Low: This position reduces vehicle
speed without using the brakes. You
can use L on hills. It can help control
vehicle speed going down steep
mountain roads along with using the
brakes off and on. You can use L on
very steep hills, in deep snow or in
mud.
