Shift-lock system

For your safety, your vehicle has a shift-lock system which prevents shifting the gear from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive) unless the brake pedal is depressed.

To shift from P (Park) or N (Neutral) into R (Reverse) or D (Drive), from R (Reverse) into D (Drive) or from D (Drive) into R (Reverse):

  1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

  2. Start the vehicle or place the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position.

  3. Turn the dial SBW to the R (Reverse) or D (Drive) position.
