Driving your vehicle
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic 
transmission has a shift-lock system 
which prevents shifting the transmission 
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) 
unless the UNLOCK button is pressed 
while depressing the brake pedal.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R 
(Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the Engine 
Start/Stop button in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever to R (Reverse) or D 
(Drive) while pressing the UNLOCK 
button.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and 
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift 
the gear to P (Park), apply the parking 
brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop 
button to the OFF position. Take the Key 
with you when leaving the vehicle.
 
• When you stay in the vehicle with the 
engine running, be careful not to 
depress the accelerator pedal for a long 
period of time. The engine or exhaust 
system may overheat and start a fire.
• The exhaust gas and the exhaust 
system are very hot. Keep away from 
the exhaust system components.
• Do not stop or park over flammable 
materials, such as dry grass, paper or 
leaves. They may ignite and cause a 
fire.
