Notice When you change from D to R and vice versa, or want to change to Park (P), come to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal applied. Operating the gear buttons before the vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.

Auto park mode

For your convenience, Park (P) is automatically engaged when the vehicle is turned off, or when all of the following conditions are met: the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, and the driver’s door is opened. You should always apply the brake and shift to Park when idling, or before exiting the vehicle.

If you select any gear other than Park when the driver’s door is opened and the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, Park is re-engaged when the brake pedal is released.

  1. When the engine is running, apply the brake pedal, select Neutral (N), then release the brake pedal.
  2. Press and hold Neutral (N) for two seconds. This puts the vehicle into car wash mode.

If the ENGINE START/STOP button is pressed while the vehicle is in car wash mode, the power mode will change to ACCESSORY .
