hand or arm in this area could
cause a loss of vehicle con-

objects around the driver’s
seat as they may move while
driving, interfere with the driv-
er and lead to an accident.WARNING

assist for the steering and
brakes, which may lead to
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
• The anti-theft steering column
lock is not a substitute for the
parking brake. Before leaving
the driver’s seat, always make
sure the shift lever is engaged
in P (Park), set the parking
brake fully and shut the

Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift lock system

unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever to R (Reverse)
or D (Drive) with pressing
[UNLOCK] button.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, a
chattering noise near the shift lever
may be heard. This is a normal con-
dition.
