Service Shift Lever
In the event of a shift lever
malfunction, a message on the
instrument cluster will invite to stop
the car safety and turn off the engine.
In this way the system moves the
transmission in P (Park) position.
Automatic Transmission Range
P (Park)
Use this position to park the vehicle.
The transmission can be shifted from
"P" position only with the brake
pedal and the unlock button pressed:
then move the shift lever. To move
the shift lever from "P" position to
any other position, the engine must
be switched on. The engine can be
regularly started in P (Park) range.
Never attempt to use P (Park) while
the vehicle is in motion. When parking
on a level surface, you may press the
"P" button first, and then apply the
electronic parking brake by pulling the
trigger upwards.
Starting and Driving
The Instrument cluster will display the
related light indicator
message for 5 seconds.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before pressing the "P"
button.
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the kerb on a downhill
and away from the kerb on an uphill
grade.
