Warning
It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle
if the P (Park) switch is not pressed with
the parking brake set. The vehicle
can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
propulsion system is running. If you have
left the propulsion system 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 press the P (Park)
switch.
The R (Reverse) and D (Drive) shift switches
are designed to prevent inadvertent shifting
out of P (Park) unless the propulsion system
is on and the brake pedal is applied.
When the vehicle is stopped, press
O
POWER to turn off the vehicle. The
vehicle will shift into P (Park) automatically.
The vehicle will not shift into P (Park) if it is
moving too fast. Stop the vehicle and shift
into P (Park).
To shift in and out of P (Park), see Shifting
Into Park 0 183 and
Shifting out of Park 0 184.
R : Use this gear to back up.
If the vehicle is shifted from either
R (Reverse) to D (Drive), or D (Drive) to
R (Reverse) while the speed is too high, the
vehicle may shift to N (Neutral). Reduce the
vehicle speed and try the shift again.

2. Pull the R (Reverse) switch on the center
console.
To shift out of R (Reverse):

get out of snow, ice, or sand without
damaging the electric drive unit. See "If the
Vehicle is Stuck."
