STARTING AND OPERATING

Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Caution!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must place the
ignition from the LOCK/OFF mode to the
ON/RUN mode, and also press the brake
pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear
selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear
range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
Note:
Shifting into PARK (P), NEUTRAL (N)
or REVERSE (R) while the vehicle is
moving can damage your transmission.
Shifting into a gear or reverse when
the engine is running faster than idle
can damage the transmission. REVERSE (R)
In position REVERSE (R), the vehicle
moves only backward. You must be at
a complete stop before shifting to or
from REVERSE (R), except under rare
circumstances.

transmission are not locked. The vehicle
will roll freely even on the slightest
incline unless the parking brake or
brakes are on.
Warning!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn
off the ignition to coast down a hill. These
are unsafe practices that limit your
response to changing traffic or road
conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
Note: Do not shift into NEUTRAL (N)
when driving the vehicle. Doing so can
cause transaxle damage. Apply the
parking brake or depress the brake

braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle
could skid, causing a collision or personal
injury.
Active Adaptive Shift
(AAS)
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
automatically controls the transmission
shift points to best suit the road
conditions and driver input. This
improves driving feel.
The transmission may switch to AAS
mode when driving up and down
slopes, cornering, driving at high
elevations, or depressing the
accelerator pedal quickly while the gear
selector is in the Drive (D) position.
