Warning and Cautions forUsing the Selector Lever
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when
the selector lever is in the P position.
When parking the vehicle, only shifting
the selector lever to the P position is
dangerous as the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Do not move the selector lever from
the N or P position while the engine
speed is high.
Otherwise, the vehicle will move
suddenly which could lead to an
unexpected accident.
When operating the selector lever,
shift the selector lever with the brake
pedal firmly depressed and the
vehicle completely stopped.
Operating the selector lever while the
vehicle is moving could lead to an
unexpected accident.
Do not shift the selector lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed when the
selector lever is in the P or N position.
Always operate the selector lever with
the brake pedal depressed when the
selector lever is in the P or N position.
Otherwise, the vehicle will suddenly
accelerate which could lead to an
accident.
Do not shift the selector lever to the N
position while driving.
Otherwise, it could result in the loss of
the engine braking power and cause
an accident.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily while the vehicle is
stopped.
If the accelerator pedal is mistakenly
depressed when the se lector lever is in
a position other than the P or N
position, the vehicle could suddenly
accelerate resulting in an accident.
After stopping the vehicle, check the
shift position indication in the
instrument cluster before
re-accelerating.
If the vehicle were to move
unexpectedly, it could lead to an
accident.
Do not allow the vehicle to move in
reverse on an upslope while the
selector lever is in forward drive, or
move forward on a downslope while
the selector lever is in reverse drive.
Otherwise, the engine could stop,
making the steering wheel difficult to
control, which could result in an
accident.
CAUTION
 When visually checking at the rear of
the vehicle while reversing the
vehicle, your body twists around to
the rear. Be careful and make sure
that the brake pedal can be firmly
depressed.
 Completely stop the vehicle before
shifting the select or lever to the P
position. If the selector lever is
shifted to P position before the
vehicle is completely stopped,
unnecessary force will be applied to
the transmission which could cause
damage.

On roads with high driving resistance
such as deep-snowy or sandy roads,
or on steep slopes, a high load is
applied to the transmission, causing
excessive heat generation. Under
these driving conditions, pay
attention to the following points.
 Stop and hold the vehicle on a
steep slope with the brake pedal,
not the accelerator pedal. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
 Avoid using the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same
time.
 Start driving the vehicle in the D or
R position according to the
direction of travel (avoid starting in
manual mode).
If you do not follow the above
precautions, the transmission may
overheat. If a message, such as
transmission cooling, is displayed, it
is necessary to temporarily stop the
vehicle to cool the transmission.How to Use the Selector Lever
