Important safety guidelines
G Warning
DIRECT SELECT lever
Overview of transmission positions
The DIRECT SELECT lever is on the right of the
steering column.
It is dangerous to shift the automatic
transmission out of parking position P or
neutral position N if the engine speed is
higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
on the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and when
your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
G Warning!
P Park position with parking lock
Keep in mind that turning off the engine alone
only will shift the automatic transmission into
neutral position N automatically.
R Reverse
N Neutral
D Drive
Always shift the automatic transmission into
park position P before turning off the engine.
i The DIRECT SELECT lever always returns
to its original position. The current
transmission position P, R, N or D appears
in the transmission position display
Otherwise the vehicle could roll away which
could result in an accident and/or serious
personal injury.
