N (Neutral): The wheels and transmission are not engaged. Use N (Neutral) if you need to restart a stalled engine, or if it is necessary to stop with the engine ON. Shift into P (Park) if you need to leave your vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal when you are shifting from N (Neutral) to another gear. D (Drive): This is the normal driving position. The transmission will automatically shift through an 8-gear sequence, providing the best combination of fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another vehicle or driving uphill, continue to depress the accelerator pedal. You may notice the transmission downshift to the next lower gear or multiple gears as needed for the vehicle to accelerate sufficiently. The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the shift lever console, allows the driver to switch between NORMAL mode, SPORT mode, or SMART mode.
