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 brake pedal is depressed.
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.
3.  Shift gear whilst depressing the brake 
pedal.
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. 
 WARNING
•  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.
