Selector lever positions

"P" PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
"R" REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTION
l Never shift into the "P" (PARK) or "R" (RE-
VERSE) position while the vehicle is in mo-
tion to avoid transmission damage.
"N" NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
Automatic transmission INVECS-III 6CVT (Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System III)*
WARNING
l Never move the selector lever to the "N"
(Neutral) position while driving. A serious
accident could occur since you could acci-
dentally move the lever into the "P"
(Park) or "R" (Reverse) position or you
will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the "P" (Park) position, not in the
"N" (Neutral) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
"N" (Neutral) position, or when shifting
into or out of "N" (Neutral) position.
"D" DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear radio
depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION
l To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the "D" (Drive) position from the "R"
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
"Ds" DOWNSHIFT & SPOR-
TY DRIVING (except for vehi-
cles equipped with shift pad-
dles)
Use when engine braking is needed, or for
high-power sport drive.
"L" LOW
This position is for driving up very steep hills
and for engine braking at low speeds when
driving down steep hills.
l
Sports mode (For vehicles
equipped with shift paddles)
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven
with the selector lever in the "D" (DRIVE)
position, sports mode can be selected by pull-
ing one of the shift paddles towards you.
In sports mode, rapid shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the shift paddle.
OGAE19E1
WARNING
This position can be used for maximum
engine braking.
Be very careful not to shift into "L" (Low)
suddenly.
Sudden engine braking may cause the
tyres to skid.
Select this position according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.
