Driving your vehicle Automatic Transmission (AT)
䳜 8ith 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
lower gear.
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive).
䳜 Do not shift the gear to N (Neu
-
tral) when driving. If the gear is
shifted to N (Neutral) whilst driv
-
ing, the vehicle loses the ability to
provide engine braking. Doing so
may increase the risk of an acci
-
dent.
䳜 The vehicle may move due to
external impact if the transmis
-
sion is not in P (Parking) position
during parking or stopping the
vehicle. If you are away from the
vehicle even for a short moment,
always engage the transmission
in P (Parking) position for safety,
apply the parking brake, and turn
off the ignition whilst pressing the
brake pedal.
Sports mode (if equipped)
8hether 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.
