Select positions
"P" PARK
This position locks the wheels to prevent the
vehicle from moving.
WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
N00583800037
the electrical parking switch has been
pressed, "P" is displayed on the informa-
tion display in the meter cluster and the
parking brake is firmly applied to prevent
the vehicle from rolling away.
"R" REVERSE
This position is used to back up.
"N" NEUTRAL
This position should only be used when the
vehicle is stationary for an extended length of
time while driving, such as in a traffic jam.
WARNING
Never move the selector lever to the "N"
(NEUTRAL) position while the vehicle is
moving. The regenerative braking will be
lost.
Always depress the brake pedal firmly
with your right foot when shifting into or
N00583900038
out of "N" (NEUTRAL) to avoid unin-
tended vehicle movement.
Selector Lever (Joystick type)
"D" DRIVE
This position is for normal driving.
"B" REGENERATIVE BRAKE
Use this position when strong regenerative
braking is required, such as on a steep down-
hill.
Two regenerative brake force levels can be
selected by operating the selector lever.
Refer to "Selector lever operation" on page
5-53, "Regenerative braking" on page 3-4
and "When driving downhill" on page 6-5.
WARNING
While driving on a slippery road, do not
use the "B" (REGENERATIVE BRAKE)
position. Abruptly releasing the accelera-
tor pedal can apply strong regenerative
braking causing the vehicle to skid which
could result in an accident.
If a large regenerative braking force is
applied by using the selector lever or the
regenerative braking level selector, the
stop lights will be automatically illumi-
nated.
