Shift lock system
For your safety, the Dual clutch trans-

prevents shifting the transmission from
P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chatter-
ing noise & vibration near the shift lever
Dual clutch transmission (DCT) (Shift Lever)

tion.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake pedal
before and whilst shifting out of the P
(Park) position into another position to
avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in or around
the vehicle.
