P (Park)
Use this position when starting the engine or parking the car.
Never use P while car is in motion.
The parking brake should also be used when parking on grades.
The gear selector is mechanically locked in the P position (SHIFT LOCK).
To release the selector, start the engine and depress the brake pedal. If it is necessary to manually
release the gear selector,
see page 97 for instructions.
WARNING! Never leave the car when the engine is running. If, by mistake, the gear selector is
moved from P, the car may start moving.
R (Reverse)
Never engage R while is moving forward.
N (Neutral)
Neutral = no gear engaged. Use the parking brake. The engine can be started with the gear selector in
this position.
D (Drive)
D is the normal driving position and should be used as often as possible to help improve fuel economy.
When modes E or S are selected, upshift and downshift of the forward gears occur automatically and are
governed by accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed.

Automatically shifts up and down between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears when in driving modes E or S. There
is no upshift from 3rd gear. Position 3 can be used for driving in hilly terrain, for towing trailers or for
increased engine braking power.
