3. Release the parking brake, the footbrake
pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.
CAUTION
* DEPRESS THE FOOTBRAKE PEDAL - Shifting
the shift lever to the D (Drive), “Ds” (Drive
Sport), R (Reverse) or the manual shift
mode without depressing the footbrake
pedal causes the vehicle to move slowly
when the engine is running. Make sure the
footbrake pedal is depressed fully and the
vehicle is stopped before shifting the shift
lever.
* MAKE SURE OF THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION
- Make sure the shift position is in the
desired position on the vehicle information
display. D (Drive), “Ds” (Drive Sport) and the
manual shift mode are used to move
forward and R (Reverse) to reverse.
* WARM UP THE ENGINE - Due to the higher
idle speeds when the engine is cold, extra
caution must be exercised when shifting
the shift lever into the driving position
immediately after starting the engine.

To move the shift lever,
: Push the button to shift.
: Shift without pushing the button .
Push the park button to shift to the P (Park)
position.
After starting the engine, fully depress the brake
pedal, push the shift lever button
and move the
shift lever from the P (Park) position
to any of
the desired shift positions.
Confirm that the vehicle is in the desired shift
position by checking the shift indicator located on
the shift lever or on the vehicle information display.
WARNING
Apply the electronic parking brake if the shift
lever is in any position while the engine is not
running. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly or roll away and
result in serious personal injury or property
damage.
CAUTION
* Use the P (Park), R (Reverse) or D (Drive)
position only when the vehicle is comple-
tely stopped.
* When switching to the desired shift posi-
tion by operating the shift lever, check that
the shift lever returns to the central posi-
tion by releasing your hand from the lever.
Holding the shift lever in a mid-way posi-
tion may also damage the shift control
system.
* Do not operate the shift lever while the
accelerator pedal is depressed. This may
cause a sudden start which could result in
an accident.
* The following operations are not allowed
because excessive force would be applied
to the transmission and this may result in
damage to the vehicle:
— Moving the shift lever to the R (Re-
verse) position when driving forward
— Moving the shift lever to the D (Drive)
position when reversing
If these operations are attempted, a chime
sounds and the vehicle shifts to the N
(Neutral) position.
