Selector Lever

Using Neutral Hold Mode

When in neutral hold mode, a condition is maintained for about 25 minutes in which the vehicle power is switched to ACC, the shift position is in the N position, and the parking brake is released. Use this mode when it is necessary to release the parking brake and change the shift position to the N position, such as in an automatic car wash that moves the vehicle by placing the front and rear tires on one side of the vehicle on a belt conveyor.
