SmartKey:
If you turn off the engine using the SmartKey and
remove the SmartKey from the starter switch,
the transmission will shift to park position P
automatically. Keep in mind that turning off the
engine with the SmartKey alone will not automat-
ically shift the transmission to park position P.
Only when the SmartKey is removed from the
starter switch, will the transmission automat-
ically shift to park position P.

KEYLESS-GO*:
If you turn off the engine using the KEYLESS-GO
start/stop button and open the driver’s door, the
transmission will shift to park position P auto-
matically. Keep in mind that turning off the
engine using the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button
alone will not automatically shift the trans-
mission to park position P. Only when the
driver’s door is opened, will the transmission
automatically shift to park position P.

Even though this is possible, make it a practice
to always shift into park position P before turning
off the engine and remove the SmartKey from
the starter switch, or when using KEYLESS-GO*,
before turning off the engine with the start/stop
button and opening the driver’s door.
