Starting and Driving
Canadian Market
When parking on a hill, apply the parking
brake before shifting to "P" mode.
For enhanced security, turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill
and away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
•
Never use the P (Park) mode as a
substitute for the electric parking
brake. Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to prevent vehicle
movement and possible injury or
damage.
•
Make sure the transmission is in P
(Park) before leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) modes into
another gear range, as this can damage
the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be used
to ensure that you have engaged the "P"
mode:
•
press the brake pedal
•
switch OFF the vehicle moving the
ignition device in STOP position,
•
verify that "P" mode is illuminated on
the instrument cluster display.
Auto Park
Park mode is also engaged if one of
these conditions occur:
• engine is in idle;
• unfastened seat belt;
• open doors;
• brake pedal non pressed;
• vehicle speed under 1,24 MPH (2 km/h)
R (Reverse)
This range is used to move the vehicle
backward.
Switching to R (Reverse) starting
from any other mode is possible by
pressing the brake pedal and pushing
the "R" button on the central tunnel. We
recommend to shift into R (Reverse)
mode only after the vehicle has come to
a complete stop.
• Vehicle stationary: switching between
R (Reverse) and D (Drive) mode,
passing from N (Neutral),requires
applying the brake pedal, then pulling
both shifting paddles behind the
steering wheel, then pull the "+" shift
paddle.
• Vehicle moving: the driver can switch
from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral) pulling
both shifting paddles.
N (Neutral)
• Vehicle stationary and engine started:
switching from N (Neutral) to P (Park)
mode requires pressing the brake
pedal and switching OFF the vehicle
moving the ignition device to STOP
position. Switching from N (Neutral) to
R (Reverse) and/or D (Drive) requires
the use of the brake pedal and pulling
the "+" shift paddle behind the steering
wheel.
• Vehicle moving: switching from N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) and/or D (Drive)
requires pulling the "+" shift paddle
behind the steering wheel. Switching to
R (Reverse) starting from N (Neutral) is
only possible if the vehicle is moving
backwards, while switching to D
(Drive) starting from N (Neutral) is
only possible if the vehicle is moving
forwards.
