When you change the shift lever from D to R and vice versa, come to a
complete stop and keep the brake pedal pressed. Operating the shift lever
before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the
transmission.
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the accelerator pedal. You could
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Shifting
Change your vehicle’s gears to begin driving.
Shift Lever
Park (P): Used for parking or starting/stopping the
engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the release
button to shift.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Used for idling.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving or sequential
shift mode (see page 79).
Sequential Shift Mode
Use the paddle shifters to change gears from 1st through 6th gears without
removing your hands from the steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode
momentarily, and the gear indicator comes on. When you start driving at a
constant speed, sequential shift mode automatically switches off, and the
gear indicator goes off. Hold the (+) paddle shifter for two seconds to return to
normal drive.
When the shift lever is in D (with SPORT mode): The vehicle goes into
sequential shift mode, and the M (sequential shift) indicator and gear indicator
come on. Shift gears up or down using the paddle shifters. At speeds of 6 mph
(10 km/h) or less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. If you do
not operate the paddle shifters while in 1st gear, the transmission automatically
shifts up to 2nd gear.
To cancel this mode, press the SPORT button (see page 78) or pull the (+)
paddle shifter for a few seconds. When sequential shift mode is canceled, the M
indicator and gear indicator go off.
Second gear lock mode: If you pull the (+) paddle shifter while stopped or
driving at 6 mph (10 km/h) or less, the gear is locked in 2nd gear. This makes it
easier to pull away on slippery surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
To cancel this mode, pull the (-) paddle shifter. Recommended shift points

Pull to shift down
to a lower gear.

Brake Assist System During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the
brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake pedal
may pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the brake
pedal, and continue to hold it firmly down.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.

Using the automatic brake hold system on steep hills or slippery roads may
still allow the vehicle to move if you remove your foot from the brake pedal.
If a vehicle unexpectedly moves, it may cause a crash resulting in serious
injury or death.
Never use the automatic brake hold system or rely on it to keep a vehicle
from moving when stopped on a steep hill or slippery roads.

Parking Sensor System*
When the system senses an object when you are parking or backing up, an indicator
appears on the upper display and a series of beeps will sound. As you get closer to
the object, the beep rate increases.
Turning the System On or Off
Press the parking sensor button. A green indicator
light appears on the button when the system is on.
*if equipped
Multi-View Rear Camera*
When you shift into Reverse (R), a real-time image of the area behind your vehicle
is shown in the display, along with helpful parking guidelines.
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting,
and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display, which does
not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), VSA helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intended. It assists
in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you turn on the vehicle. If you turn VSA off, your
vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability, but not VSA traction and
stability enhancement.
Press and hold the VSA

OFF button until
you hear
a beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator
appears when the system is off.
When VSA is off, traction control stops functioning,
which allows the wheels to spin more freely at low
speed. This can be helpful when trying to free your
vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
