NOTICE
After the POWER button has been
turned off, the EPB (Electronic
Parking Brake) cannot be released.
Shift lock system
For your safety, the reduction gear
has a shift lock system which pre-
vents shifting the gear from P (Park)
or N (Neutral) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the gear from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) into R (Reverse) or from D
(Drive) into R (Reverse) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or turn the
POWER button to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
You can change the gearshift from N or
D to R, only when the break is in ON
and vehicle speed is less than 7 Km/h
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard.This is a normal condition.
Shiftlock function will activate when
the gear is changed from N to R.
Before chaning the gear from N to R,
the driver must step on the brake
after the vehicle has come to a full
stop. Then, while pressing down on
the brake pedal, press onto the lock
release button.
This function is to prevent any
reduction gear damage which may
occur if the driver locks the gear
while the vehicle is in motion.

park

pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the vehicle.

gear, make sure the parking
ground is level and flat.Do not
park in [N] gear on any slopes
or gradients.
