Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the gear position when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
• ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
gear is in the P (Park) posi-
tion, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
• Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip causing an accident.

P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
The gear must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the gear is
in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the engine
off.
• Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
(Reverse) while the vehicle is in
motion.
When the vehicle is stopped in R
(Reverse) position, if you open the
driver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear is shifted to P (Park)
position automatically.
However when the vehicle moves in
R (Reverse) position, if you open the
driver's door with the seat belt unfas-
tened, the gear may be not shifted to
P (Park) position automatically for
protecting the automatic transmis-
sion.
