ing brake.
僅 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 vehicle
may move and cause serious damage
and injury.
僅 After the ignition switch has been
turned off, the electronic parking
brake cannot be disengaged.
僅 For EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
equipped vehicles with AUTO HOLD
function used whilst driving, if the
ignition button has been turned OFF,
the electronic parking brake will be
engaged automatically. Therefore,
AUTO HOLD function should be

the next lower gear.
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
Sports mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
SPORT mode manages the driving
dynamics by automatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the engine and
transmission control logic for enhanced
driver performance.
In sports mode, moving the shift lever
backwards and forwards will allow you

a manual transmission, the sports mode
allows gearshifts with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
