varying gear ratios are selected
automatically, depending on the position
of the shift lever, vehicle's speed and
position of the accelerator pedal.
The indicator on the instrument cluster

switch is in the ON position.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
• Always check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, especially
children, before shifting into D (Drive)
or R (Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver's seat, always
make sure the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
• Do not use engine braking (using the
manual shift mode to shift from a
higher gear to a lower gear) on slippery
roads. The vehicle may lose traction
with the roadway, resulting in a
collision.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), depress the brake
pedal firmly and make sure your foot is
not depressing the accelerator pedal.
If you cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), refer to the "Shift lock release"
section in this chapter if equipped with a
shift lever.
WARNING
• Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is
moving may cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the shift lever is in P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
• When parking on an incline, shift the
gear to P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the wheels toward the
curb to prevent the vehicle from rolling
downhill.
• Do not use the P (Park) position instead
of the parking brake.
