Driving your vehicle
Parking in N (Neutral) gear
Follow below steps when parking
and you want the vehicle to move
when pushed.
1. After parking your vehicle, step
on the brake pedal and move the
shift lever to "P" with the ignition
button in "ON" or while the engine
is running.
2. If the parking brake is applied
unlock the parking brake.
3. While pressing the brake pedal,
turn the ignition button "OFF".
• For smart key equipped vehicles,
the ignition switch can be moved
to "OFF" only when the shift
lever is in "P".
4. Change the gear shift lever to "N"
(Neutral) while pressing the brake
pedal and pushing "SHIFT LOCK
RELEASE" button or inserting,
pressing down a tool (e.g. flathead
screw-driver) into the "SHIFT
LOCK RELEASE" access hole at
the same time. Then, the vehicle
will move when external force is
applied.
CAUTION
• With the exception of parking
in neutral gear, always park the
vehicle in "P" (Park) for safety and
engage the parking brake.
• Before parking in "N" (Neutral)
gear, first make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in "N" gear on any slopes or
gradients.
If parked and left in "N", the
vehicle may move and cause
serious damage and injury.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will
automatically shift through a 6-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing
another vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
