WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
• ALWAYS check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, especially
children, before shifting a vehicle into D

• Before leaving the driver's seat, always
make sure the vehicle is shifted to the P

brake, then press the Engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF position. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
• When using the paddle shifter (manual
shift mode), do not use engine braking
(shifting from a high gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.

displays the gear position when the

instrument cluster when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the OFF or ACC
position.
