156Driving and operatingIf the vehicle is shifted from either R
to D, or D to R while the speed is too
high, the vehicle will shift
automatically to N. Reduce the
vehicle speed and try to shift again.
To shift in and out of R:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. To shift into R, press the shift lock
release button on the side of the
shift lever and move the shift lever
forward, and then to the left. R is
illuminated in red.
To shift out of R, shift to the
desired gear.Caution
Shifting to R while the vehicle is
moving forward could damage the electric drive unit. Shift to R only
after the vehicle is stopped.
At low vehicle speeds, R can be used
to rock the vehicle back and forth to
get out of snow, ice, or sand without
damaging the electric drive unit.
N : In this position, the propulsion
system does not transfer torque to the
wheels. To restart the propulsion
system when the vehicle is already
moving, use N only.
The vehicle is not designed to stay in N for extended periods of time. It will
automatically shift to P.
To shift in and out of N:
To shift into N, move the shift lever
forward. If the vehicle is in P, press
the shift lock release button while pressing the shift lever back. The shifter indicator is illuminated in red.
To shift out of N, bring the vehicle to
a complete stop and shift to the
desired gear.
D : This position is for normal driving.
If more power is needed for passing,
and the vehicle speed is:
● less than 56 km/h, push the accelerator pedal about halfway
down.
● about 56 km/h or more, push the accelerator all the way down.Caution
If the vehicle seems to accelerate
slowly or not respond when you try to go faster, do not continue your
journey. The electric drive unit
could be damaged. Consult a
workshop as soon as possible.
To shift in and out of D:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. To shift into D, move the shift lever
back. If the vehicle is in P, press
the shift lock release button while pressing the shift lever back. D is
illuminated in red.
To shift out of D, shift to the
desired gear.
L : This position reduces vehicle
speed without using the brakes. Use
L on very steep hills, in deep snow, in
mud or in stop-and-go traffic.
