Transmission

Park (P)
In this position, power is not transmitted
to the drive wheels and the transmission
is locked. You can start the electric motor
with the gearshift lever in this position.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), the
vehicle moves backward. Always come to
a complete stop before shifting into and
out of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
In this position, power is not transmitted
to the drive wheels but the transmission is
not locked. You can start the electric motor
with the gearshift lever in this position.
Drive (D)
The normal position for driving your vehicle.
The transmission operates in a single gear
built specifically to handle the electric
motor output.
Low (L)
Use this position for maximum motor
braking, for example when driving down a
steep hill. You can select this position at
any vehicle speed.
Brake-Shift Interlock
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working.
When performing this procedure, you
will be taking the vehicle out of park
which means the vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the parking
brake prior to performing this procedure.
Use wheel chocks if appropriate.
