Driving your vehicle Automatic transmission
Do not drive with the shift lever in N
(Neutral).
The engine brake will not work and
lead to an accident.
Parking in N (Neutral) gear
Follow below steps when parking
and you want the vehicle to move
when pushed.
1. After parking your vehicle, step on
the brake pedal and move the
shift lever to "P" with the ignition
button in "ON" or while the engine
is running.
2. If the parking brake is applied
unlock the parking brake.
3. While pressing the brake pedal,
turn the ignition button "OFF".
䳜 For smart key equipped vehi
cles, the ignition switch can be
moved to "OFF" only when the
shift lever is in "P".
4. Change the gear shift lever to "N"
(Neutral) while pressing the brake
pedal and pushing "SHIFT LOCK
RELEASE" button or inserting,
pressing down a tool (e.g., flat
head screw-driver) into the
"SHIFT LOCK RELEASE" access
hole at the same time. Then, the
vehicle will move when external
force is applied.
䳜 With the exception of parking in
neutral gear, always park the
vehicle in "P" (Park) for safety and
engage the parking brake.
䳜 Before parking in "N" (Neutral)
gear, first make sure the parking
ground is level and flat. Do not
park in "N" gear on any slopes or
gradients.
If parked and left in "N", the vehi
cle may move and cause serious
damage and injury.
D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transmission will auto
matically shift through a 6-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing
another vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
