• To select a gear range, simply rotate the
shifter control.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal to shift the
transmission out of PARK or from NEU-
TRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE.
• To shift past multiple gear ranges at once
(such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate
the switch to the appropriate detent.
• Select the DRIVE range for normal
driving.
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not in PARK. Make sure
the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing 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
your foot is firmly pressing 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 parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
and make sure the keyless ignition node is in the "OFF" mode. Remove the Key Fob
from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle. When the keyless ignition is "OFF", remove
the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle. The transmission is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• 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 transmission gear
selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
