Driving Your Vehicle
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically shift
through an 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator pedal further until you feel
the transmission downshift to a lower
gear.

To shift the gear to D (Drive), rotate the
shift dial clockwise while depressing the
brake pedal.
When the vehicle is stopped in the D
(Drive) position, if you open the driver's
door with the seat belt unfastened, the
gear will automatically shift to P (Park).
However, if the vehicle is in motion, the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to prevent automatic transmission
damage.
NOTICE
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
CAUTION
When you start after stopping on a steep
incline, even if the gear is in D (Drive), if
you do not depress the accelerator or
brake pedal, the vehicle may roll
backwards, which can cause an accident.

You cannot shift gears, when the battery
is discharged.
In emergencies, do the following to shift
