Selecting a Drive Mode

With the vehicle in Drive mode, move the right steering column lever up or down to select Reverse or Drive. The Center Cockpit Panel shows the current selection.

When the vehicle is in P (Park), you must also press the brake pedal before selecting D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

Note: If you try to make a selection that is prohibited due to the current vehicle speed, a chime will sound and a message will be displayed on the Cockpit Panel.

R (Reverse)

Push the lever up and release to select R. R can only be selected when the vehicle is stationary or its forward speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

N (Neutral)

Allows the vehicle to roll freely unless the brakes are applied. Push the lever up or down from the currently selected gear and release to select N.

D (Drive)

Push the lever down and release to select D. You can only select D when the vehicle is stationary or its speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in reverse.

P (Park)

When P is selected, the parking brake is automatically applied.

With the vehicle stationary, you should press the end of the gear selector to select P.

Note: P is automatically engaged whenever you connect a charging cable to the charging port. This is to prevent the vehicle being moved while still connected.

Note: If the vehicle is in D or R, P will automatically be selected if you open the driver’s door and get up from the driver’s seat.

Warning: It is the responsibility of the driver to always ensure the vehicle is in P (Park) before exiting. Never rely on the vehicle to automatically shift into P (Park) for you; it might not work in all circumstances.
