Shifting out of Park

This vehicle is equipped with an electric
drive unit. To shift out of P (Park), the
vehicle must be on, the brake pedal must be
applied, and the charge cord must be
unplugged.
Parking the vehicle in extreme cold for
several days without the charge cord
connected may cause the vehicle not to
start. The vehicle will need to be plugged in
to allow the high voltage battery to be
warmed sufficiently.
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Apply the brake pedal.
O
2. Press POWER to start the vehicle.
3. Verify that the vehicle is unplugged and
the vehicle ready light is on.
4. Press or pull the desired shift switch on
the center console. For N (Neutral) press
and hold the N (Neutral) switch until the
N indicator illuminates red.
The P indicator will turn white and the gear
indicator on the selected shift switch will
turn red when the vehicle is no longer in
P (Park).
If the vehicle cannot shift from P (Park), a
Driver Information Center (DIC) message
may be displayed. Check that the vehicle is
on, the vehicle ready light is on, and the
brake pedal is applied when you are
attempting to shift out of P (Park). If all of
these are met but the vehicle will not shift
out of P (Park), see your dealer for service.

Extended Parking

It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running, be
sure it will not move and there is adequate
ventilation.

the RKE transmitter outside the vehicle, it
will continue to run for up to an hour.

the RKE transmitter inside the vehicle, it will
continue to run for up to two hours.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is taken
out of P (Park) while it is running.

Electric Drive Unit

The shift switches are on the center console.
The selected gear position will illuminate red
on the shift switch, while all others will be

indicator on the shift switch may flash until
it is fully engaged.
If the vehicle is in ACC/ACCESSORY, the
vehicle can be shifted into P (Park).

If POWER is pressed twice while at a
relatively high speed, the vehicle will turn
off and automatically shift to N (Neutral).

selected.
