Park position 

Gear selector lever position 
when the vehicle is parked. Place 
gear selector lever in position P 
only when vehicle is stopped. 
The park position is not intended 
to serve as a brake when the 
vehicle is parked. Rather, the 
driver should always set the 
parking brake in addition to 
placing the gear selector lever in 
position P to secure the vehicle.

The SmartKey can only be 
removed from the starter switch 
with the gear selector lever in 
position P. With the SmartKey 
removed, the gear selector lever 
is locked in position P.

If the vehicle’s electrical system 
is malfunctioning, the gear 
selector lever could remain 
locked in position P 
(
