(Drive) position, if you open the driver's
door with the seat belt unfastened, the
gear will automatically shift to P (Park).
However, if the vehicle is in motion, the
gear may not automatically shift to P
(Park) to prevent automatic transmission
damage.
NOTICE

Driving Your Vehicle
CAUTION
When you start after stopping on a
steep incline, even if the gear is in
D (Drive), if you do not depress the
accelerator or brake pedal, the vehicle
may roll backwards, which can cause an
accident.
When the battery is discharged
You cannot shift gears, when the battery
is discharged.
In emergencies, do the following to shift
the gear to N (Neutral) on a level ground.
1. Connect the battery cables from
another vehicle or from a another
battery to the jump-starting terminals
inside the engine compartment.
For more details, refer to "Jump
Starting" section in chapter 8.
2. Release the Electronic Parking Brake
with the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON position.
3. Shift the gear to the N (Neutral)
position. Refer to the “To stay in N
(Neutral) when vehicle is OFF” in this
chapter.
Information
In situations when the gear needs to be
shifted from P (Park) to N (Neutral) when
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
OFF position, refer to the “To stay in N
(Neutral) when vehicle is OFF” in this
chapter.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine.
3. Shift gear while depressing the brake
pedal.
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Shift the gear to P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and press the Engine
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Take the Key with you when leaving the
vehicle.
WARNING

[When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not
to depress the accelerator pedal for
a long period of time. The engine or
exhaust system may overheat and
start a fire.

[The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep away from
the exhaust system components.

[Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper
or leaves. They may ignite and cause

Paddle Shifter (Manual Shift
Mode)
ORS061009
The paddle shifter allows the driver to
shift gears without taking one’s hands off
the steering wheel.
The paddle shifter operates as follow.

[Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once
to shift up or down one gear and the
system changes from automatic shift
mode to manual shift mode.

[To change back to automatic shift
mode from manual shift mode, do one
of the following:
-Pull the [+] paddle shifter for more
than one second.
-Drive the vehicle under 4 mph (7
km/h)
-Gently depress the accelerator
pedal for more than 6 seconds.
-Rotate the shift dial to the D (Drive)
position.
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled
at the same time, gear shift may not occur.
Good Driving Practices

[Never shift the gear from P (Park) or
N (Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.

[Never shift the gear into P (Park) when
the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

[Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
when driving. If the gear is shifted to
N (Neutral) while driving, the vehicle
loses the ability to provide engine
braking. Doing so may increase the
risk of an accident.
Also, shifting the gear back to
D (Drive) while the vehicle is
moving may severely damage the
transmission.

[When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving rearwards. After selecting
D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. If the vehicle moves in
the opposite direction of the selected
gear, the engine may turn off and a
serious accident might occur due to
degraded brake performance.

[Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result
in the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.

battery power is available), but you
cannot release it.

[For your safety, depress the brake
pedal and release the parking brake
manually with the EPB switch when
you drive downhill or when backing up
the vehicle.
NOTICE

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill. The system operates the brakes
automatically for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 secondswhen
the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation) and
releases the brake after 2 seconds or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control
activates only for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 seconds
when the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation).
Information

[Hill-Start Assist Control does not
operate when the gear is shifted to P
(Park) or N (Neutral).

[Hill-Start Assist Control activates even
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake pedal
is momentarily and strongly depressed
in a situation sudden braking is required
while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
reduces the braking distance, by
providing additional pressure up to the
point of ABS intervention.
BAS operation

[When the vehicle speed is more than
19 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control
is not entered.

[When the brake pedal is depressed
strongly over a certain level.

[When the friction of the road surface
is above a certain level.
BAS operation off

[The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h).

[The brake pedal is depressed lightly or
firmly over a certain condition.

[The friction of the road surface is
below a certain level.
WARNING
The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.
