STARTING AND DRIVING

Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock feature
helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear
selector between different positions.
There are two different types of shiftlock:
mechanical and automatic.
Mechanical shiftlock
The gear selector can be moved back and forth
freely between N and D. There is a mechanical
shiftlock for the other positions.
To move the gear selector to between P, R, N
and D, press the button on the front of the gear
selector (see the illustration).
Automatic shiftlock
From Park – P
In order to move the gear selector from the P
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition must be in mode II.
From neutral – N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has
been stationary for more than 3 seconds (regard-
less of whether or not the engine is running), the
shiftlock feature will lock the gear selector in this
position.
In order to move the gear selector from the N
position, the brake pedal must be depressed and
the ignition must be in mode II.
Shiftlock override
If the vehicle cannot be driven (e.g., due to a dis-
charged battery), the shiftlock feature has to be
overridden in order to move the gear selector
from the P or D positions into N so that the vehi-
cle can be moved. To do so:
Lift away the rubber mat on the bottom of
the storage compartment in front of the gear
selector to expose the small hole for overrid-
ing the shiftlock feature.
Press a small screwdriver or similar item into
the hole and hold it down.
Press the button on the front side of the
gear selector and move the selector to the N
position. Release the button and remove the
screwdriver from the hole.
4. Put the rubber mat back into place.
