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.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not en-
gaged.
Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart a
stalled engine, or if it is necessary to stop
with the engine ON. Shift into P (Park) if
you need to leave your vehicle for any
reason.
Always depress the brake pedal when you
are shifting from N (Neutral) to another
gear.
WARNING
Do not shift into gear unless your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal. Shifting into
gear when the engine is running at high
speed can cause the vehicle to move very
rapidly. You could lose control of the ve-
hicle and hit people or objects.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
transmission will automatically shift, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the ac-
celerator fully. The transmission will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear (or gears, as appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to ECO or
SPORT mode. (if equipped)
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System" later
in this chapter.
Stay in N (Neutral) position when
vehicle is off
If you want to stay in N (Neutral) after the
vehicle is OFF, do the following.
