Park (P) should only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. If any other gear position is selected while the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle can move unexpectedly, which may result in death or serious injury. Always make sure the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied after engaging P.
The instrument panel displays the selection status of the gear selector and the steering wheel’s gear selector paddles (Sequential shift). The appropriate indicator lamp on top of the gear selector illuminates to confirm selection.
Select P before switching off the engine.
Move rearward to select D.
Move forward to the first position to select N.
Move forward to the second position to select R.
The instrument panel displays the manual gear selection status.
The relevant gear selector indicator shows the status of the manual gear selection:
Continuous illumination confirms the driver’s gear change request is recognized and selected.
On/off flashing confirms the driver’s gear change request has been recognized but not selected.
To exit manual mode, pull and hold the right paddle for approximately 1 second. The vehicle returns to the previous automatic operation: D or S.
Sequential shift can be effective when rapid acceleration and engine braking are required. A gear shift indicator warning lamp illuminates briefly at the recommended (up-shift) gear change point. If the gear selector remains in the D position, temporary use of the manual gear selection mode is held while the driver is accelerating. With D selected, manual gear selection mode is also held while decelerating, cornering, or continuing to request gear shift changes via the steering wheel paddles. See GEARSHIFT (GREEN).
If a transmission system fault is detected a warning message displays in the instrument panel. In this event, only limited gears may become available. If possible, the vehicle should be carefully driven to the nearest place of safety. Seek qualified assistance.
Some transmission faults may cause the gear selector to be locked in position, until the ignition is switched off. A flashing gear status in the instrument panel indicates that the driver’s gear request cannot be engaged. In this event, select Neutral (N) and then select the required gear change again. If the requested position cannot be engaged due to the speed of the vehicle, the flashing will stop when the vehicle has slowed down sufficiently. If the transmission is still unable to engage the requested gear, contact a retailer/authorized repairer.
