NOTE: The shift lever will always return to its original position after
shifting. ALWAYS CONFIRM SHIFT POSITION BY CHECKING INDICATOR
SYMBOLS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
In some instances when the engine starts, and/or on a short trip after the
engine is stopped, the engine water pump may continue operating for a
short time. This is a standard operation of the vehicle to ensure optimum
performance and shouldn’t be a concern.

The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B” when
engine braking is desired (i.e. downhill driving, coasting to a stop, etc.).
