Automatic Return to Park
Note:
This feature does not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode or
neutral tow.
Your vehicle has a feature that automatically
shifts your vehicle into park (P) when any of
the following conditions occur:
• You turn the vehicle off.
• You open the driver's door with your
seatbelt unlatched with the vehicle
stopped.
• You unlatch your seatbelt when the
driver's door is open with the vehicle
stopped.
If you turn your vehicle off when moving,
your vehicle first shifts into neutral (N) until
it stops and then shift into park (P)
automatically.
Note: If you have waited an extended period
of time, 2-15 minutes before starting your
vehicle, unlatching your seatbelt can cause
this feature to activate, even with the driver
door closed. Note:
This feature may not work properly if
the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If your
door ajar indicator does not illuminate when
you open the driver’ s door or the indicator
illuminates with the driver’ s door closed, see
your authorized dealer.
Reverse (R)
With the selector in reverse (R), your vehicle
moves backward. Always come to a
complete stop before shifting into and out
of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the selector in neutral (N), your vehicle
can be started and is free to roll. Hold the
brake pedal down when in this position.
Stay in Neutral Mode
Note: Stay in neutral mode is a temporary
vehicle state with the ignition off. Once in
this mode, sufficient battery voltage must be
maintained or your vehicle returns to park.
Extended usage of Stay in Neutral mode
may result in a battery voltage reduction to
a level where the vehicle may no longer
start. Do not tow your vehicle in this mode. Note:
Always put your vehicle in Stay in
Neutral mode when entering an automatic
car wash. Failure to do this could result in
vehicle damage not covered by warranty.
Stay in Neutral mode allows your vehicle to
stay in neutral when you exit your vehicle.
Your vehicle must be stationary to enter this
mode.
To enter Stay in Neutral mode:
• Press the neutral (N) button on the
transmission selector.
• Press the neutral (N) button again to
enter Stay in Neutral mode.
A message appears in your information
display screen when your vehicle has
entered Stay in Neutral mode.
To exit Stay in Neutral mode, apply the brake
and select a different gear.
Stay in Neutral Mode - No Start
Use this to move your transmission from the
park position in the event of a no start
situation. If your vehicle has a dead battery,
an external power source is required. Do not
tow your vehicle in this mode.
