NOTE:
The vehicle automatically applies the P
(Park) position when the power switch is in
the OFF position.
WARNING
. The selector lever is always in the
center position when released.
When the power switch is placed in
the READY to drive position, the
driver needs to confirm that the
vehicle is in the P (Park) position.
The indicator next to the “P” by the
selector lever is illuminated and the
“P” is displayed on the meter. If the
vehicle is in the D (Drive) position or
R (Reverse) position when the
power switch is placed in the
READY to drive position, this may
cause a sudden start which could
result in an accident.
. On a hilly road, do not allow the
vehicle to roll backwards while in
the D (Drive) position or ECO posi-
tion, or allow the vehicle to roll
forward while in the R (Reverse)
position. This may cause an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
. Do not slide the selector lever while
pushing the P position switch. This
may also damage the electric motor.
. When switching to the preferred
position by operating the selector
lever, check that the selector lever
returns to the central position by
releasing your hand from the lever.
Holding the selector lever in a mid-
way position may also damage the
shift control system.
. Do not operate the selector lever
while the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed, except when switching to
the ECO position. 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 traction
motor and this may result in da-
mage to the vehicle:
— Moving the selector lever to the
R (Reverse) position when driv-
ing forward
— Moving the selector lever to the
D (Drive) or ECO position when
reversing
If these operations are attempted, a
chime sounds and the vehicle shifts
to the N (Neutral) position.
