Park – P
Park is activated using a switch located next to
the gear selector.
Select P when the vehicle is parked or when star-
ting the engine. The vehicle must be stationary
when P is selected.
To select another gear, the ignition must be in
mode II and the brake pedal must be depressed.
Help functions:
The system will automatically shift to P:
•
If the ignition is switched off while D or R is
selected.
•
If the driver unbuckles the seat belt and
opens the door while the engine is running if
P has not already been selected.
In position P, the transmission is mechanically
locked. Always apply the parking brake when the
vehicle is parked.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in the P position
before the vehicle can be locked and the
alarm set.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when the
vehicle is parked, particularly when parking on
a hill. The transmission's P mode may not be
able to keep the vehicle stationary if it is
parked on an incline.
Reverse – R
The vehicle must be stationary before R can be
selected.
Neutral – N
No gear is selected and the engine can be
started. Always apply the parking brake if the
vehicle is not moving and the gear selector is in
the N position.
The ignition must be in mode II and the brake
pedal must be depressed before the gear selec-
tor can be moved from N.
Drive – D
D is the normal driving position and gear shifting
is fully automatic. The vehicle must be stationary
when the gear selector is moved from R to D.
