Shift indicator
P (Park)
Position when parking the vehicle and when starting the EV system.
Always set the selector lever to P position and set the parking brake:
Only setting the selector lever to the P position without using the parking brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous. If P fails to hold, the vehicle could move and cause an accident.
When the lead-acid battery is depleted, the parking lock does not operate even if the selector lever is shifted to the P position.
R (Reverse)
Position for reversing the vehicle.
A beep is activated to notify the driver that the shift position is in the R position.
N (Neutral)
Position where power generated by the motor is not transmitted to the EV Transaxle.
Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle:
If the selector lever is shifted to the N position while driving, deceleration using the regenerative braking is not possible which could result in an accident.
Apply the parking brake or depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever from N position to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
D (Drive)
Position for normal driving.
Shift indicator
The shift position turns on.
The shift indicator turns on at the same position as the shift position indication in the instrument cluster.
