AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure you shift the gearshift lever
to park (P). Switch the ignition off and remove
the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously for
more than a few seconds will limit engine
rpm, which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Push Button Shift Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
transmission. The transmission selector is
located on the instrument panel next to the
display screen. The gears are selected by
pressing and releasing the PRNDS buttons.

the instrument cluster.
Putting your vehicle in gear:

2. Press and release the button of the gear
you want to select.
3. The button you select will illuminate and
the selected gear appears in the
instrument cluster.
4. Release the brake pedal and your
transmission will remain in the selected
gear.
Note: If you attempt to leave your vehicle
while it is in gear, your vehicle will
automatically shift into park (P). Safety belt
and door monitors determine your intent and
make the shift for you. During this time, a
message appears in the instrument cluster
prompting you to make the shift to park (P).
Understanding the Shift Positions of
